3FFE::/16 address space...

"It has been proposed that the management of the 6bone 3FFE::/16 address space be transferred to the Regional Internet Registries
(RIRs). More information about the 6bone can be obtained at http://www.6bone.net/."

=====

Why would people pay RIRs for address space ?

....when they can get it FREE....via the current 2002:[IPv4] approach which simply requires a person to have one dynamic (or static)
IPv4 address as a site-id...

Also, why isn't the address space allocation business totally automated ?
...why are so many people required ?
...what do they do all day ?
