By that definition, I wonder if Jobs and Wozniak needed IP resources today
for their garage - could they get them?  Whether you like what they did or
not they certainly have advanced the Internet.  And if John and Sue are
working in their garage today and need a /24 or a /22 from ARIN to further
the Internet, can they get them?  With today’s policies – probably not as
they might not have a business plan yet, or signed contract with
contractors, or gotten their funding - or any other measure of need that is
currently indoctrinated in policy.  What a shame!

You paint a bleak and I believe obfuscating picture with your example...IF
they NEEDED as you say a /22 or /24 they can justify it.  Without a
business plan or signed contracts, how can one assess the stated need
against the risk of assigning addresses to them when others more prepared
are able to justify their need more completely.  Of course your hindsight
example makes us all sympathetic for those wonderful entrepreneurs...but
how do we, in real time, estimate John and Sue's entrepreneurial outcomes
in with no information in order to give them the benefit of the doubt?  No.
Let's keep giving out addresses to those with a business plan, contracts
and demonstrable need.  And, of course even then...some brilliant
entrepreneur may come one day and there will be NO v4 addresses for them or
anyone else....that would be a shame too....That would be especially
shameful if the community were out because of a foolish practice of giving
out addresses to those who don't really need them.

And besides...there is v6...now and in the future for the true
entrepreneur...surely they will be able to figure out a way to use them.
