Re: [ga] Overcoming IPv6 Security Threat

[eric@hi-tek.com]

Now I could be wrong here as I have only been invited to an Apnic meeting
addressing such but it is my understanding that there is an actual campaign going
on to try and market IPv6.  What I wondered is how they get to sell them.  It seems
like a tourist climbing into the Grand Canyon and collecting rocks and then selling
them.  Or maybe more like a tourist going into Yellowstone and collecting Poison
Ivy, and selling it to other tourists.  Where is the title to these addresses, or
the license?  Are we talking Brooklyn Bridge here?
