So how exactly do you verify business *plans*? We've seen enough customers come up with wonderful ideas about their Internet application, requesting a /22 or similar, only to figure out half a year later that their idea wasn't so good in the end, they have only used 5 IP addresses, and are nearly bancrupt. So how can you see at application time whether something is a cool idea that might or might not work out (but you wouldn't know until half a year later) or is a blatant lie (which you wouldn't see unless they start using the space and complaints come in)? Besides... sending mail *is* a perfectly acceptable usage of IP addresses. Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
