The day is coming where IPv4 will become a whole lot more scarce as ARIN's supply

loves needs based policies today - will love to have their allocation requests denied
arbitrarily in the future. Of course if you would like to tell me where else other than
ARIN you would recommend that I should go to obtain permanent IP resources for my BGP,
I'd gladly follow that up. And don't tell me to talk to my upstreams as I already have
and - surprise - they prefer me to go to ARIN for permanent IPv4 resources - because of
the impending IPv4 shortage.
I would also point out that at least in the RIPE region folks seem to be coming
to their senses about the downsides of needs based allocations. Maybe that is
because they have less IPv4 than ARIN now has - and are starting to see the
forest thru the trees. I'm seeing some comments in this community that maybe
that is the wrong way to go here too - so hopefully sanity will prevail here
too!
You can get addresses from any RIR provided you can meet their policy
requirements.
