[arin-ppml] Internet 101: Collaboration (was - Microsoftreceives court approval for transfer as agreed with ARIN)

[Mike Burns]

Hi Chris,

I am confused about your post, although I agree the value of the Internet 
relates to the number of connections (Metcalf's Law).

But I'm not sure if you think that some of the ongoing conversations will 
lead to value reductions somehow.

Can you elucidate?

Thanks and Regards,

Mike
