I agree that there is a benefit in allowing a financial incentive to encourage transfers of address space to where it can be used more efficiently. But I think that any hope of providing enough for large consumer DSL networks to continue growing at a steady rate, let alone a similar to rate what we see now, is very optimistic. Maybe I am unduly pessimistic about what is likely to be made available. Regards, Leo Vegoda
