Given that IP is a scarce resource, why aren't we taxing those large IP blocks similar to property taxes on land? If holding an /8 came with a hefty tax bill attached, it would 1) encourage companies that got them for historical reasons and don't have much practical use for them to sell them to those who actually need a lot of IPs, and 2) encourage IPv6 MIGRATION.
Who do you pay the tax to? Be warned that your answer will probably lead to a fragmented Internet, or encourage even less redistribution according to real needs
Isn’t there a misalignment between IPv6 adoption and scarcity of IP addresses? We rely on ISPs to adopt IPv6, but if they also own IP space, why would they lower the value of their holdings.
