The 16777214 IP addresses (give or take) in their 12/8 assignment aren't
enough? Oh wait, it's probably used internally and renumbering to 10/8
would be too big a hurdle to take. ;-)
The 12/8 address space is fully allocated out, I believe entirely to
customers. Do the math. 35,000,000 residential customers (plus) on DSL and
FTTx (many with a /29, /27, or larger assigned), plus very many managed
services customers with full /24s and even /16s. It's no wonder they're
hungry for IP space. Their enormous customer base is hungry for it.
