Hi..<br /><br />If we haven't the last /8 today, we can return other /8, witch the NCC allocated very much for free earlier. But I don't know why we are talking about the last /8 only?<br /><br />-- <br />Kind regards,<br />Aleksey Bulgakov<br />FastTelecom, CEO<br /> +7 926 6908729<br /><br />20:24, 21 июля 2016 г., Gert Doering &lt;gert@space.net&gt;:<br /><blockquote>Hi,<br /><br />On Thu, Jul 21, 2016 at 05:11:03PM +0000, Network Operations Centre wrote:<br /><br /><blockquote> IMHO the current position is hurting the industry and creating un necessary complexity.
