Either there will be people who need IPv4 address space enough that 
they'll pay money for it -- whether that market is one where the 
transfers are recorded via a transfer policy or one where the transfers 
are recorded through the manipulation of shell companies -- or there 
won't be, in which case nobody will use the new policy anyway, so it 
doesn't matter.

Again, "option C", where we don't ever run out of IPv4 space and anyone 
who needs some can get it for nearly free is far preferable, but it 
isn't going to be on the table any more.
