What sort of money are we talking about here?
- wmf 7y ago$80M?
- dylz 7y agoMarket rate is 60-90 million. $25+/IP is reasonable given that it's a contiguous block, legacy, etc.
- Bluecobra 7y ago44.192.0.0/10 was sold which equals 4,194,304 IP addresses. At $20.00/address that comes out to a cool $83,886,040. Using this to base the IP address cost: https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales
- virtuallynathan 7y agoNone of the big guys are paying this much, especially for blocks this size. $5-10/IP.
- throwaway2048 7y agoNice to see they get backroom deals for about 0.15% of the ip addresses on the internet, AND massive discounts.
- oh_sigh 7y agoA volume discount isn't a backroom deal. Unless you think for some reason the group that controls 44.0.0.0/8 is beholden to Amazon or big tech for some reason.
- throwaway2048 7y agoNo, but the deal itself is certainly extremely suspect and with a total lack of transparency for a supposedly public resource.
- brooksgarrett 7y agoExcept we will never actually know... 73 DE WP3NIS
- wmf 7y agoWe will know because they will have to report the income on their public tax return.
- rayvd 7y agoSeveral million dollars[1]. [1] https://www.ampr.org/amprnet/ https://www.ampr.org/amprnet/
