In small quantities, and which tie you to particular providers.  Shells of 
companies have been bought (or just claimed) for their large, especially 
pre-ARIN, PI-IP assignments.  To a young ISP, a /16 for example may seem 
like a lifetime supply of IP space, and save the company many thousands of 
dollars (ARIN registration fees) and paperwork hassles.

News of this case has been sent here before (by william@elan.net back in 
July).  Is anything really happening with the case?
