Haven't heard that one, but I doubt they'd be that stupid.

That one I have heard. The actual pricing structure in the
early ARIN proposals (http://www.arin.net/) was scalable;
it was never $2500 per class C unless you're getting them
one at a time, in non-contiguous blocks.
These kinds of conspiracy theories are on literally dozens
of other mailing lists, including NAIPR and PAGAN.
Please note the reply-to.
