[arin-ppml] Potentially credible v4 number pricing data

[Martin Hannigan]

What does private equity and M&A have to do with longer or shorter prefix value?

There's a market for all lengths/sizes. Clearly, the Hilco data
demonstrates that. The "value" is higher for smaller (and larger to
some extent) prefixes because of the overhead and abundance of
unpredictable risk dealing with ARIN.

Best,
