I'm not sure the current discussion is timely. Do we really want to start a reclaiming effort of IP addresses? Addresses such as Apple's, HP's, IBM's and others were made long before RFC2050.
Well by the looks of things ARIN, RIPE and APNIC are working their way though about a /8 each every year or so. This means that Class C space (as such) is going to be used up in a year or two (only 220-223/8 is unallocated). There are still over 60 /8s unallocated after that which means we aren't going to run out for a few years. When the numbers for broadband start working however things could quickly get tight. Still it's a bit off when Defence Establishments have /8s and probally a minimal number of world visable networks while medium sized countries have less. A quick check shows that the following /8s have little or nothing of them advertised into the global routing table. Of course there are probally a few others that have the /8 ad and almost no actual use. 006/8 Army Information Systems Center 008/8 Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. 011/8 DoD Intel Information Systems 019/8 Ford Motor Company 021/8 DDN-RVN 022/8 Defense Information Systems Agency 025/8 Royal Signals and Radar Establishment 026/8 Defense Information Systems Agency 028/8 DSI-North 029/8 Defense Information Systems Agency 030/8 Defense Information Systems Agency 034/8 Halliburton Company 045/8 Interop Show Network 046/8 Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. 048/8 Prudential Securities Inc. 051/8 Deparment of Social Security of UK 052/8 E.I. duPont de Nemours and Co., Inc. 054/8 Merck and Co., Inc. 056/8 U.S. Postal Service 215/8 US-DOD -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall () ihug co nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon () darkmere gen nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz
