I heard a Dane say the Nordic ISPs had enough 'foresight' to hoard enough IPv4 addresses for the foreseeable future.

- djsumdog 11y agoI worked for a New Zealand company that was getting into hosting and we couldn't buy IPv4 addresses at all. We were complete out. I think one of the team leads started looking at buying blocks from African companies.
- samuellb 11y agoYes the major Swedish ISPs also say the same thing, except for the "foresight" part. One of our ISPs is even giving out "unlimited" public IPv4 addresses on their consumer subscriptions (previously they had a limit on 5 addresses, but now they have apparently removed the limit). The ISPs even refuse to offer IPv6 when it comes to "big" customers, like apartment cooperatives with hundreds of apartments... You have to turn to the small/local ISPs for (consumer) IPv6 here.
- aplorbust 11y agoAny way for someone outside of Scandinavia to purchase/rent some of these public IPv4 addresses? VPS? Datacenter?
- samuellb 11y agoNo, it's for consumer subscriptions only, and commercial use is prohibited. On the same ISP, commercial users have to pay depending on IP address block size and justify how they will use the addresses etc.
