[arin-ppml] Policy Experience Report Working Group Leasing Question

[Fernando Frediani]

Hello Willian

It is that very difficult to differentiate a scenario where a final 
customer receives a block allocation in order to have their Internet 
service working with that connectivity provider. That has never been a 
problem.
Another thing which many here are targeting about IP leasing in the 
sense of renting, speculation made by those who don't build or offer any 
Internet infrastructure and services. In other words someone holding IP 
space and not using it to build any Internet infrastructure and services.
