IP Address Shortage?
Hmm, is there a market here?
It seems, according to an article on ZDnet, that Aisa is running out of TCP/IP addresses. Interesting and, frankly, not that suprising. After all, there are a limited number of IP addresses but an ever growing population. And, I can’t imagine a country with more issues in this regard than China.
Of course, the article pushed moving from IPv4 to IPv6, but I’m thinking along different lines. (Heh, heh, heh. Remember, I have a degree in Marketing!) Why not “broker” some of the dormant IP addresses here in the States? I mean, I know I pay for 5 static IPs, but I’m only using 3. That means I have have 2 I can “loan” to someone out there in “I-need-an-IP-address” land. So, why not make a profit off it, eh? How much is an IP addres worth per month? $5, $10? Hmm, now, why hasn’t someone like SBC picked up on this?
