I don't think ARIN (or any other RIR) wants people to think this way. =20=
Appreciation and value are words that most folks at ICANN don't want =
network engineers to associate with IP addresses. =20
"The real value is in routing"; is the party line.
STLS to me is kind of double speak, ARIN says: "this isn't a capital =
resource", but yet if you go through us and list your 'unused' blocks in =
this space, we don't care what financial transaction happens behind the =
scenes.
Maybe John can shed more light on this.
For some background, go over to the Internet-history mailing list, which =
included a very lively discussion of "ownership interest" in IP =
addresses.
