That might actually have the opposite effect of what is desired. Whoever is charging and benefiting from the fee would then have an incentive to maintain the status quo of IPv4 and continue collecting the fees. We’re already seeing this now as people are selling IPv4 addresses. Scarcity + demand creates market opportunities.

- richardwhiuk 8y agoIn what jurisdiction do you envisage that law and why would the politicians agree to such a tax?
