IP address space is a public resource...
A novel concept!
I would appreciate being directed at the specific multiverse in which
this is actually the case. I do believe that I'd like to go there,
if for no other reasons, then at least to see what things are like
there.
Ah, so this part is easy. The IPv6 address space exists in this state
now, as did the IPv4 address space prior to commercialization of the
Internet. The allocation of v6 to my network is
4,951,760,157,141,521,099,596,496,896 addresses, and cost me only the fees
levied by ARIN in association with the administrative costs of maintaining
the registry. I was also allocated 256 v4 addresses to handle things like
router IDs and dual-stacking core infrastructure to ease the transition at
no additional cost. Sounds like a public resource to me, and one that has
been upgraded to ensure that scarcity is a thing of the past, at least
until we make contact with other space faring civilizations who wish to
participate. Still, it seems as though we will need layer 1 over quantum
entanglement, or some similar "sub-space communicator" before that can
become an issue :)
Cheers,
Scott
