Starving the beast is actively working to make IPv4 cost-prohibitive. I
only wish those whom Jay refers to, had fewer addresses to buy & sell -
definitely not more.
There are ~4.3B addresses in the entire 32-bit IPv4 space, and there are
~4.3B /64s in every IPv6 /32.
The D/E IPv4 space would make speculators rich, nothing else of note.
