I am wondering. 050 is about resource transfers.
But does anyone have an opinion on resource leasing?
Example... I enter into a private agreement with a party to lease
them an AS and the rights to route (or attempt to do so) a /21, and
charge them a yearly fee.
050 stops transfers, but who cares about 050 if there are easier,
simpler ways to accomplish the same thing – but better... I still
own it in the end.
You could even have a broker that leased lots of excess address
space from members for a certain period, and based on the scarcity,
the size of the resource, then sub-leased it to different parties at
rates according to demand at the time – kind of like the real estate
rental market.
I guess the concept of leasing address space is already a standard
one as most ISP’s I know, and in ones I have built, we have levied a
fee on the end customer for larger than the default allocation as a
cost recovery method of our APNIC fees in having them in the first
place.
Thoughts?
