Further more... its nice to know that I can be an LIR of RFC1918 resources
which is what this would effectively mean.... The IP assigned to the port
is controlled by the institution, the switch is controlled by the
instituition, the access is not legitimate, and the resources being used
for the access are RFC1918 space if they are natting, the assigned IP is
still under the control of the institution.  But, since you suggested it,
maybe there is a good business model in reselling RFC1918 resource
allocation..... *rolls eyes*
