“Got in early” vs “invented it”?

  > “Got in early” vs “invented it”? PSINet/Cogent got 38/8 in 1994: did they invent it? Ford got 19/8 in 1995: how about them? How many places and people/companies didn't have the ability to go to a RIR in the 1990s or 2000s and get an allocation because their local infrastructure (power, telecom) wasn't developed at the time? So because they got computers, fibre, smartphones later they're SOL?
