colin,<br>
<br>
to add to what jordi has just told you ..<br>
how much do you think you are currently paying for an ip address, to be <br>
able to provide your users with service (big hint: go do the math, <br>
it?s necessary, and important). then, how much do you think you?ll <br>
be paying in the future, once afrinic can no longer give you any more <br>
address space?<br>
you don?t need to guess an answer to the second part; here?s one <br>
view: <a href="https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales</a><br>
<br>
now ask yourself, what?s going to be cheaper - consistently - for you? <br>
feel free to look around and see what the other address brokers say. <br>
i?m sure the numbers will be enlightening.<br>
<br>
if you can?t see the business case here, then that is good news for <br>
your competitors.<br>
