Howsabout computer/networking hardware manufacturers who see the
switchover as the pot of gold ?
Block Date Registry - Purpose
----- ------ ------------------
003/8 May 94 General Electric Company
GE restricts 3.0.0.0/8 to *INTERNAL USE ONLY*. They use *OTHER
ADDRESS SPACE* for their internet-facing servers. WTF is this ?
009/8 Aug 92 IBM
Why does IBM need 16 million publicly routable addresses ?
013/8 Sep 91 Xerox Corporation
Have you ever seen any email from this address space ?
015/8 Jul 94 Hewlett-Packard Company
016/8 Nov 94 Digital Equipment Corporation
DEC was bought by Compaq, which was bought by HP. So HP now has
*THIRTY-TWO MILLION CONSECUTIVE, PUBLICLY ROUTABLE ADDRESSES*!!! WTF do
they need them for ?
017/8 Jul 92 Apple Computer Inc.
Why ???
All of the above companies would just *LOVE* to see IPV6 rammed down
the throats of unwilling ISPs and customers.
