Colour me surprised that so many people are talking about the marketing schtick (or: "woe betide the seller for unspecified reasons") - and not the opportunity... but so be it. Digging around on the web I've found: http://blog.jgc.org/2012/09/the-uk-has-entire-unused-ipv4-8-that-is.html ...which suggests that it's 51.0.0.0/8 that is up for grabs. I remember a few years ago there being a bunch of "countdown to doomsday"-type blogposts and articles re: the underadoption of IPv6 and the expected fatal pressure on the declining resource of IPv4; now I'm seeing a lot of 6 in mobile, loads of NAT, and folk seem far less petrified of the future? -a On 13 March 2015 at 20:23, Christopher Morrow <morrowc.lists () gmail com> wrote:

Yeah. They've probably had no chance to end up in any reputation filters.
