I don't see how it can -- even though many say it will. I just don't see how it can. It's a chicken and egg situation.

Who is he leasing it through? That sounds like an interesting way to make recurring revenue.

A friend has a /16   Due to issues with ARIN selling it is problematic.   So he leases it out.  I was the one who advised him to hold onto it when he thought of selling it 15 years ago.  So he gives me a commission. ( good friend! ).   The $200/month commission is a nice perk.   I hope ipv4 never goes out of style!

No, but it’s a consideration for the balance sheet.

The value is a large reason that the community (ARIN) allows transfer sales.   The intention is to have the price of IPv4 increase to the point it gets people to move to IPv6 and sell the IPv4 space.

Eventually the value of IPv4 addresses will start to go down.

Speculate on them as you wish.   Sell when you think the market has reached it’s peak.

So today I looked over my kingdom and realized I'm sitting on $96,000 worth of IPv4 space.   But, much like the stock market it's only worth that if you sell it.

On the other hand, I'm using those IPs to run my business.   At what point does it make sense to sell them and just NAT everyone because the money you get from the sale is a better business decision than just sitting on them?   Maybe keep a /24 or two.


Anyone here ever pondered this while they lay awake in bed?
