As we all know, there are lot of big LIRs with plenty of unused (or 
wasted) space, and now they are making serious business selling their 
classes. With a current price of about 10€/IP, it's easy to understand 
how big are interests behind this: some LIRs could make M€ just by 
selling something they obtained for free some years ago. It's clear that 
we can't "generate" more IPv4, but IMHO this is totally against a fair 
market. A new LIR with just a /22 shouldn't be charged like one with 
tons of /12: if having lot of IPv4 would be anti-economical for big 
LIRs, this would be a *real* incentivation for IPv6 deployment and 
return of IPv4. I'm not a lawyer, but probabily this problem should be 
reviewd by European Commission for Competition.
