Yes, the reason is that we'd never had ARIN turn down a request due to spac=
e exhaustion before. In 12 months we'll see the prices will go up significa=
ntly. Don't underestimate the demand, which is easily measured via ARIN spa=
ce allocation reports. That demand rate has very little flexibility, and th=
e businesses asking for /21 and above are willing to pay for the space. It'=
s not the "two guys and a router" startups asking for a mere /23 or /24. Th=
ese are generally pre-existing businesses or well-funded startups.=20
