Re: [sig-policy] prop-061-v001: 32-bit ASNs fordocumentation purposes
I agree with you here Phillip. If large ISP's like Yahoo with
Carl Ichan and two of his cronies now getting board seats, donating
IP allocations to them seems far too charitable. Why shouldn't they
have to get in line with every one else? Isn't the Internet for everyone?
Or is is mostly for the big dogs, and than everyone else?
Seems to me that there is a good opportunity for a restraint of
trade class action legal action here in the making...
