Cameron - I agree with the intent, but just for clarity, I'd like to ask what you mean by "the black market"? I see two possibilities, one being that the current IPv4 address transfer regime is viewed as "illegitimate' (which would be the typical use of the term 'black market'); or secondly, that the current IPv4 transfer system is fine but likely won't meet one's requirements for growth and hence may require turning to transfers "outside the system", i.e. truly to an underground black market... I can see reasons to assert either view, but figured other folks might also be wondering which of these two potential points you are making... :-) Thanks! /John
