There are addresses out there, that for enough money people would take the time to part with in order to fulfill the requirements during these next several years. Your position is that we should make it as unfair as possible to as many people as possible who might be on the "need" side of this equation, as far as I can tell.

I suppose I should have been less succinct and more clear.

I don't think that bring a new business that is IPv4-dependent forth and counting on some form of
continued availability of IPv4 resources is in any way going to be a viable business plan beyond
IPv4 free pool exhaustion.

Your assertion that there are addresses out there for the right price is true for a rather limited
time and a relatively small quantity of addresses in my estimation.

My position is that we should make it as fair as possible to as many people as possible who
might be on the need side of this equation by limiting the amount that any one organization
can obtain at a time through this process to their reasonably projected need for a limited
time in much the same way we have also limited the distribution of the pre-runout
free pool.

Your argument is that we should allow anyone with enough money to grab as much of the
resources as they can as quickly as they can and preclude any future entrants.

As such, I'm finding it hard to understand how you consider my argument to maximize
unfairness or believe that yours is in any way more fair.
