Rumormill at IBM is that we bought some random companies a while back just for their IPv4 blocks. You didn't hear that from me though.

- jychang 13y agoDoubt it, everything on IBM is natted to a 10.0.0.0/8 or is running externally to 9.0.0.0/8. Source: I work at IBM, in a division that was another company that was bought out a few years back.
- peterkelly 13y agoI think the suggestion was that they expected those blocks could become very valuable in the future and could thus be sold for a healthy profit. I don't think GP meant that IBM wanted to actually use those addresses themselves.
