You are talking about giving an industry that is valued in the trillions of dollars a "surprise"?
Yes, it WILL be a BIG surprise for a majority of LIRs when "No more IPs left!" will be replied from RIPE NCC to their request! I think, for ~90% of them it will. So for that time we should have established rules for IP market :) -- WBR, Max Tulyev (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)
