Hi Milton, Rhetorical question ? Haven't got a clue on what current prises are for /24 on the black market. But we all know that not any amount of money will create more addresses as we currently have, so why not 1,000,000,000,000,000 dollar. Whould Rembrandt have realized "Portrait of a Lady Aged 62" would ever be sold for almost 20 million pounds, when he faced her to make a first draft ?

Any evidence that v4 addresses in /24 quantity have traded for such sums?

I think it is important to think about new companies. They

probably require some IPv4 address space during the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. I think the whole community will be in a lot of trouble if we make a policy that makes it impossible for new entrants to participate in a dual-stack world.
A legitimate concern. But:
1. address transfers might make it possible for them to acquire v4 addresses
Transfers from whom ? The /24 they are going to get for 1,000,000,000,000,000 dollar from an "old company" ?
