There is no such thing. You are calling end-user assignments and
suballocations that result from LIR/ISP connectivity services... leasing.
No connectivity no IP address, no need.


That will cut out the examples and cut to the chase.

So a WISP would happily pay $250,000 for a lease? Rather than obtain
connectivity service from an LIR and get a /24 or /23 based on real need.

I am struggling to see how small WISP would find leasing more strategic yet
they would end up paying more to cover also the cost of middlemen.

This market you talk off, where is it and who are the LIR with so much Idle
addresses to cash out?

So they choose to lease, and address holders are happy to monetize their

By address holders you mean LIR. So what you are saying is that some LIR
out there who requested for IPv4 based on need from ARIN, are holding the
addresses which they no longer need artificially? So that they can lease to
small WISP?

So that the purpose for which those LIR obtained the addresses in the first
place?

Suppose the addresses those LIR are holding with no intension to use them,
were still under ARIN management, dont you think the new small WISP would
have better off being served by ARIN as new needs arise.?

If LIR dont pay ARIN lots of money, why not return the idle addresses to
ARIN so that those with genuine need can be served.

There is alot of mystery and bad faith contrary to what the internet
community expected from address management for best interest of everyone.
