I don't really know, but I hope they had more requirements than that :) I suppose though, are you more upset that the radio folk now have some endowment (or what-have-you) or that the block is getting somewhat chopped up? their blog seems to indicate that there is plenty of space left, more than they'd allocated previously (though I don't see any actioal records). They also state that the trust which was setup previously controled the space and dealt with ARIN + the buyer. it SEEMS above board... more above board than some other transactions I've seen in the last while :( Does it serve the larger community to get the space under RSA and potentially signed in the RPKI? or to leave it where it was before? -chris > --msa
