<DIV>No one owns the addresses today. They're just 32 bit numbers. That's all.
Nothing more. Nothing less. No one ever owned the addresses. They have zero
intrinsic value.<BR><BR></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>That train has left the station. Nortel sold
addresses to Microsoft for $7.5 million.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Addresses which have been allocated very
obviously have a value different from a random string of 32 bit numbers.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>You can argue that they shouldn't, you can argue
that correct stewardship would be to establish policies to kill IPv4 and thus
transition more swiftly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But you can't argue that they have zero
value.</FONT></DIV>
