Presumably organisations will check this and fake the appropriate paperwor=
k and come up with some plausible excuse for requiring the space within th=
e next 12 months BEFORE they part with their cash.
It would be most amusing for somebody to buy space, hand over the money an=
d then have ARIN deny the transfer.
So I do wonder, how is this policy is being enforced and will ARIN be inve=
stigating this current news item?
