- jsheard 2y agoA lot of those early adopters are self explanatory but how did Ford end up with an entire /8? Merck and Eli Lilly? Prudential?

- eqvinox 2y agoThere is no government control on IP address space. The only actual binding is to the 5 RIRs*, and if you want to see how eminent domain would fare there... Take a look at the current AfriNIC situation :( (* Legacy space doesn't even have that)
