Just two small comments.. Correct.. Having last /8 policy permits allowing new LIR to appear.. This is ok and can go on... Is there a reason why IANA blocks redistribution to existing small LIR's will restrict this /8 policy? I don't see it.. Imposing IPv6 deployment with this redistribution will just bring benefits. I'm a little doubtful that old LIR's restricted themselves from eating up all the space. I'm more inclining to believe that certain old LIR's made a big business from this, by creating an artificial market and then sold their free ip pools on the market for a hefty profit. Not to say about the greedy ones who destroyed small ISP's just to make profit from the ip ranges they had.
