Each /8 is very valuable, worth between one and two Billion U.S. dollars.
It is important to have a broad base of "Trustees" that help to manage all
of cyberspace. That avoids having companies with monopoly control over
a space or the Registry for the space. The 11-bits of extended addressing
(22 total) that can fit in the IPv4 header, allow all address spaces to be
expanded. Existing "owners" do not have rights to that expanded space.
Eight Trustees plus the existing owner form a 9-person "Board" to manage
each space. Here is one example. 17*8=136

Well, looking at the above link and comparing it to the most recent one
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space), I would say the
latter.
Eg.
068-079/8 IANA - Reserved Sep 81
now
068/8 ARIN Jun 01
069/8 ARIN Aug 02
070-079/8 IANA - Reserved Sep 81
