Comment on Part of Ham Radio AMPRnet IPv4 Space Sold to Amazon

Comments

Amazon, or "A very big company with a significant internet presence" like it states on the page?

Nothing of value was lost to ham radio, as no ham or ham organization indeed ever used or would ever use that much address space. I guarantee as this makes the rounds on QRZ a dozen OM's will speak up in fiery, yet misplaced passion, but really, this is a much better use of the addresses and gives the amateur community in general an absolutely massive boost.

I’m more concerned about the lack of transparency and where the proceeds from selling off a public resource are going.

"Whois" indicates it is Amazon.
