The prices have risen a lot since you last checked. It's getting close to $40 per IP these days.

I wonder how do major cloud providers reflect this appreciation of their assets on their books,:)

That is a very good question and not only for cloud providers but also for businesses with /8 ranges and even smaller ones which currently are valued at $1+ million
I'm not aware if there is any business that really registers them as assets or any tax authority requiring this but I'd also be very interested to hear more on this

Lol, sounds about right. We've know that hockey stick graph is coming. Probably should have checked before I shot my mouth off.

This. Bad for newer companies since big guys already have it and everybody still needs v4.
At this point, most of the free up space is picked up by the big boys and you gotta do business with them.
Airn has a few senarios where you can pick up ipv4 addresses but it's pretty though at this point and you usually would need to be an established business with an existing ipv4 and a dual stack ipv6 setup. The ipv4 they are giving out is basically preferred to providers that are dual stacking and need additional ipv4 space to roll out ipv6.
Honestly, if you were to start today, there's basically no chance unless you gett off your wallet and pay a 3rd party at auction. And those ups are usually going to be trash. You'll spend a year getting them off blacklists and able to function.
So theoretically, you could get some but in practice, you're best bet is to rent them from Someone that already has them and put a router or server in their Colo.
