That's up to 8388608 addresses lost...

  Sold, probably. Looking at https://www.leadertelecom.biz/ips/transfer https://www.leadertelecom.biz/ips/transfer, that could have brought in a nice sum of money (they ask #unicode code points in dollars per 65,536 addresses)

    > "(they ask #unicode code points in dollars per 65,536 addresses)" Could someone explain this? I feel like I'm missing something (not the 2^16 addresses, the "#unicode code points")

      There are 1,114,112 Unicode code points (17 times 64k), and that particular site happens to charge $17/IP, so for 64k IPs they happen to charge $1,114,112. Same idea as "number of libraries of Congress" or "number of Empire State Buildings", but nerdier.

        Thanks! That was very helpful. edit: From wikipedia: "Unicode comprises 1,114,112 code points in the range 0x0 to 0x10FFFF. The Unicode code space is divided into seventeen planes (the basic multilingual plane, and 16 supplementary planes), each with 65,536 (= 216) code points." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_point
