Ouch! That makes Stanford's voluntary surrender of their /8 block back in 2004 extraordinarily expensive! Think about how many scholarships that could have paid for!

That price is based on what Microsoft paid for Nortel's block in 2011.[0] I think there was another purchase of IP addresses since (by Amazon, maybe), but I'm not able to locate a price.

DuPont sold off their 52.a.b.c to Microsoft and Amazon 5 years ago.
