i just -know- i should read the rest of this thread before
considering a reply.
if i remember correctly, some group in Japan received a /8
as a transition plan to IPv6... details are hazy.
sort of like the ARIN thing for experiments, the v4 space
was/is supposed to be tied to some equivalent v6 space
and after a period (12 months or so) the v4 space was to be
returned. Pretty clever as a transition thing, presuming
no ill will on the part of the participants.
