Huh, speaking of lots of public IPs, most of MIT's old class A is now owned by Amazon :-( NetRange: 18.32.0.0 - 18.255.255.255

- Analemma_ 3y agoWhy :-( ? There's no way MIT was using more than a tiny fraction of that /8; now it's actually being put to real use, and MIT probably got some money out of it. Everybody wins.
- amluto 3y agoMIT was using it. Not efficiently, but MIT sold addresses that were in use at the time due to what appeared to be IT ineptitude. It was also shortsighted. It was a massive resource, MIT presumably sold it for under $200M (I assume far under), and now AWS plans to rent the addresses at a rate that will be around $600M per year if they manage to rent them all.
