Hi, > How about @Home? Wish I could just make up wildly expansive business > plans and get ARIN to sign off on it... Sigh. Having @Home show up in these discussions all the time gets boring. ARIN (InterNIC at the time) didn't "sign off" on @Home's request -- @Home was rejected by InterNIC and appealed to the IANA. After justifying the request to the IANA, InterNIC was asked to do the allocation. Note that "wildly expansive business plans" don't (or at least didn't, don't think it has changed) cut it -- @Home had to provide sufficient corroborating evidence to back up their "wildly expansive business plans". Given @Home seems to have lived up to those plans, it would appear the IANA was justified in overriding InterNIC... Regards, -drc
