seems like the last thing the Internet needs is more private address space. Keith This document directs the IANA to designate the block of IPv4 addresses from 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 (240.0.0.0/4) as unicast address space for limited use in large private Internets.

If a cable NAT box could survive on a tainted IPv4 we might well be able to find a use for them. I don't see how the addresses are any more viable as private space as public. Given the stakes with IPv4 allocations I would like to see a technical strategy in which the optimal course of action
