Because it does not work.

Want to run a public service with end-to-end connectivity? Go to your RIR to request an IPv4 block and be put on a waiting list.

Or break out your cheque book and be prepared to cough up $35+/IP for the privilege of global connectivity:

A friends company that was able to buy two /24s under $2K each and get them pretty quick.

When I signed up for a new data center internet connection, both my ISPs charged me something like $25/month for a /24.

IPv4 addresses are still relatively cheap to get.

Remember when IPv4 addresses were assigned/given out for free? Pepperidge Farms remembers. :)

When did the company purchase them? Was it a private sale or through a broker(?)? I'm curious as to the process, especially if it was more recent.
