Forgot to mention that this outreach should have included strong messages so governments could be aware they should grab enough IPv4 addresses to satisfy their needs, in order to become truly independent from their current (or future) IP service providers.
Some governments only understood they needed to "own" their share of IPv4 space when it was too late, and only got small crumbs... :-(
In general, public administration procedures lead to periodic tenders, and service providers (ISPs) are likely to change, and renumbering processes become unavoidable if you don't "own" PI space, Legacy space our your own PA space... ;-)
More backwards thinking.
Nahhhhh, just a glimpse of local, daily, reality. :-))
Those Governments should have pushed for a migration to IPv6 instead of looking for small crumbs and acting as a forerunner.
At some extent, several governments over the years have funded sectorial-driven deployments :-)
Then use the crumbs for NATPT bridging them to the parts of the Internet, that don't use v6 yet.
You mean, the large majority... ;-)
It would also pushed the suppliers in the right direction then.
I would say that suppliers aren't being pushed enough, even today... ;-( Regards, Carlos
