Well, not naming any names, but we have a couple other companies lingering around here with unjustified 300-400k allocations... Ho hum...
Guess I should share my love

422K IP for a hosting company is too high? I don't think it's the case when Ford Motors have 16 million IPs.

You know the great thing? We've done some work for Ford in the past, and at one of their branch sites I saw a label on an IP phone with an address in the 19.0.0.0/8 range (Ford's IP block)...
Now you know what they're doing with that space!

Well obviously industrial giants of old along with the mostly offline continent of Africa are parked on big IP space. The IPs ought to be reclaimed.
Mind you, Ford and their ilk were allocated IPs back in the internet stone age, prior to ARIN and any regulations over issuance. Today isn't it an 80% use/consumption before more allocation?
Someone want me to audit CC's IP use
?

ServerHub's ad banner rotating at the top of the page is advertising a $6.99 2.5GB VPS that includes 6 IPs . Their parent Eonix has over 460K IPs: AS62904 (140K ) and AS30693 (323K)
Give it another 10-15 years and usage will catch up in many countries. Internet penetration in Moroco, Tunisia, and Egypt is already slightly above the world average. Overall Internet penetration in Africa is 15.6% compared to 37.6% in the rest of the world. This table, broken down by country, shows the huge increase in African Internet users between 2000-2012 (from 4.5 million in 2000 to 167 million last year)

Because neither of them have been selling /19's to spammers? There's an /18 listed just the other day. If you run through their RDNS you'll see it's all spammy RDNS for the whole thing.
Serverhub gives a lot, as does lunanode I think their name is. It's possible LN has a solid relationship with singlehop with part of their agreement be to increase their IP usage to get more subnets.
Expect it from everyone alas. It's a mad dash since ARIN only has another /9 or so left before shit gets real.

Remember, Ford is pre ARIN space. PRE-ARIN didn't need justification, just 'Hi, I need some IP addresses', and they'd allocate you a /20 w/o issue. Needed more? OK.
There is gobs of pre-ARIN space that isn't used and is owned by companies that don't know it. If you want to see how that space is being used, just monitor http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/latest/ for "zombie/stolen subnet" listings.
You'll see massive allocations (/18's and such) get posted all the time.

Maybe but it's only fair to add others through the thread title too then maybe, e.g Ubiquity Servers/Nobis Technology has ~1.8M IPs announced and are notorious for years for the same reason

Hehe, DomainBop, you reading my email
? Truer words never said.Cursory view of the IP use for said company was, gosh, this is kind of like empty. Why all the IPs. Mind you I haven't invested a week leafing through the ranges. I limit my focus mainly to one provider
But ole ServerHub showed up in my CC periscope months back and is again, sadly.Gandi.net now offering 17% discount for ipv6-only:

That's a great idea. I wonder how many people have taken them up on that offer.
