Re: and don't forget the radio hams
"A mere drop in the IP4 ocean"
I know "hobby" doesn't adequately describe ham radio, but it is 1/256th of the whole internet for a single, niche purpose.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting the status quo is wrong in this regard, or that ham radio is not important. I don't even know what they need all those IP addresses for.
Knowing the ham radio lot, the IP address block was squirrelled away at the start of the internet specifically to act as reserve tank of IP addresses should the day come that we really ran out - they 'd have guessed that it would take till 2020 for the uninvented IPv6 to come into common use.
