Re: ARIN Enters Phase Four of the IPv4 Countdown Plan

Yes, you could have shown up to discuss, present arguments , vote ....
there many. meetings on this as well as ARIN email discussion threads. All
the hot topics are always presented at nanog/arin meets in an effort to
create community awareness and gather community interest. I attended ARIN
only meetings where the rooms were full - this was a hot topic of ARIN
meetings many times. Your point was brought up many times - that position
was represented.

The process to get a big block is cumbersome...thus verizon went out to
the open market to buy space. A notable verizon person attend an arin
meeting and openly said so. And that was during late phase 2 or beginning
of 3. So it's not that easy for a big company to get a big block.
