When can we reclaim all this unused space from the US DoD?  Serious
question.

I’ve never understood how they can just sit on this without having to do
something with it.

Just saw an article in the Washington Post explaining what went on…

It was a follow up to the Apr 24 and 26 articles…

I don’t have a link without a subscription….

Basically, unused IPv4 addresses from DOD were being transferred to
Global Resource  Systems. It was transferred back today.This is some
pilot program for network resilience by the Pentagon unit Defense
Digital Service.

I don’t know if this is a smoke screen or exactly what “they” say it is…
Just trying to fill in the blanks…

Hi, this week it looks like the DoD owned squat space that was
previously advertised by AS 8008 (a shadow company called Global
Resource Systems,

is now being advertised by AS 749 (DoD Network Information Center).
Does anyone have any idea why this change was made?  Is the DoD
planning on actually legitimately putting services on the space soon
instead of using it as a giant honeypot?  Or maybe even selling it?

Thanks,

Rich
