A /19 can support over 8,000 nodes (hosts, PCs, interfaces, etc.).

Some companies are charging $10 per month for a Static IP and some $15 per month.

A /19 should therefore yield (at one month's rental to the broker) $80,000+ in annual lease revenue.

$80,000 - $2,500 would result in $77,500 per year going to ICANN.
