To be honest, the whole purpose of the waitlist is for companies to
make money from obtaining IP space. True, we usually assume they'll
be doing it the old-fashioned way, by (gasp) offering services -
however I think that somehow "tainting" the waitlist-obtained
addresses is going to cause more trouble than it would prevent.<br>

asking if an entity were to obtain IP space from the waitlist,
should they be permitted to lease it to someone else? My
answer is a resounding no. That defeats the whole purpose of
the waitlist. Entities should not be encouraged to hoard IP
space because ARIN will subsidise the cost, allowing a
for-profit entity to make money from obtaining IP space.</div>
