I do not agree. As a company that has to keep at least 10 /22 available at all times, this means that I would be paying more, just because I need to make sure the company can grow fast enough, when it needs to.

Buying and transferring IPs takes weeks with all the paperwork, so the only way we can keep growing is by keeping IPs in reserve. And we and our clients would need to pay for that.
