I disagree. While the waitlist may help companies offer competitive services
for their product lines, it should not be the "product" itself. I.e. the
offering of IP services should be coupled with the actual offering of
services.
To point, if companies offer connectivity-related services, such as, but not
limited to, hosting, transit, data transit, and ISP, I don't have an issue
as these are in the spirit of what IP resources should be obtained for.
Obtaining IP resources for the purposes of immediately reselling or leasing
them to companies is not in the spirit of ARIN's policies.
The waitlist should not be designed for companies simply to make money by
"waiting" in line as a spot holder than reselling the IP addresses.

To be honest, the whole purpose of the waitlist is for companies
to make money from obtaining IP space. True, we usually assume
they'll be doing it the old-fashioned way, by (gasp) offering
services - however I think that somehow "tainting" the
waitlist-obtained addresses is going to cause more trouble than
it would prevent.

Are you asking if an entity were to obtain IP space from
the waitlist, should they be permitted to lease it to
someone else? My answer is a resounding no. That defeats
the whole purpose of the waitlist. Entities should not be
encouraged to hoard IP space because ARIN will subsidise
the cost, allowing a for-profit entity to make money from
obtaining IP space.
