John,
Given ARIN's STLS, it would seem even ARIN has the 'right perspective' =
to see the "up$ide". It's more about the implication of folks having =
increasing financial incentive to go outside the existing mechanisms =
(e.g., Nortel/Microsoft) and the implications that has on network =
operations.
Since it would seem we have an impedance mismatch on this topic, I'll =
not bore NANOG with further discussion.
Regards,
