[arin-discuss] Good Stewardship by example

[Scott Morris]

Testing for transition and being close to complete migration at two 
ENTIRELY different things.  And they aren't under any push or 
requirement to give back.

Personally I've always wondered just what kind of things with THAT MANY 
IP addresses is the DoD really doing on the public internet anyway???  
For a classified side of things, they can use any address set they want 
as it shouldn't be touching the internet.  :)

But that's just my opinion.  Still doesn't change the rules or 
regulations (or lack thereof). 

The overall problem is that it seems to have been much easier for the 
large players to obtain IPv4 addresses.  These are the same large 
players who appear to be thoroughly unmotivated to even run IPv6 on 
their networks, and yet they are the upstream providers for the smaller 
players who are getting beaten to death with these policy shifts.

Just my two cents....
