Hi, We’re a start-up – and need a small allocation of IPv4 to connect our platform and to start generating revenue for our business. For us, even the RIPE joining and annual fees are a sizeable cost – and then having to pay around €10K for a /24 is a real problem. Unfortunately, we need to connect to the GRX network – so IPv6 is not an option, and nor is using a suballocation from a third party. We’re on the waiting list – but seemingly not going anywhere fast. I realize that it’s inevitable that a hot market will emerge for such a precious resource – but it is disappointing that those new businesses who genuinely need a small allocation for their originally intended use (connectivity) are hindered by those who just speculate with no intention of actually using the addresses. I am new to the scene and so unfortunately don’t have any useful suggestions to make – but it seems that something has to change since the current dynamic seems abusive.
