Can someone remind me of the point of this thread?
We each have to make our own decisions about how (and whether) to prepare 
for IANA to allocate its last address blocks.  We might make different 
decisions.  And it also turns out that agreeing ahead of time how we'll all set 
pricing is against the law.  IANAL, YMMV, past performance is no indicator
of future returns, operator not responsible for lost articles, liber sum, semper 
ubi sub ubi, and to the fairest: petitio principia discordia.
