The Ripe NCC Has Run Out of IPv4 Addresses

Given it was the DoD's time/money (or our/taxpayers' money indirectly, but their effort) that gave rise to the Internet (or ARPANet rather) back in the day, I'd cut them some slack for owning a large segment.... The problem's obviously far greater and no amount of releasing some of the IPv4 space is going to help. We all knew this day was coming...

Yeah to me it seems more egregious that Ford or Apple have held onto their /8.

Good on GEC, IBM, HP or Xerox for having relinquished their(s).

Well I can understand Apple, they are at least a major tech company. But Ford has no use for /8...
