R,
I have a couple of questions for you...
perhaps I am unclear here. are you asserting that [natural/legal]
persons OWN address space?
Last I checked, ARIN records a binding between a person and a
"Right to Use" agreement that is reflected in the ARIN database.
e.g.
Bills Bait & Sushi has the right to use 168.254.0.0/16
from 01oct1999 - current(*)
* registration fees are current.
ARIN publishes reports from its database in two basic forms,
the WHOIS (et.al.) format and the [ip6/in-addr].arpa DNS format.
Are you suggesting that ARIN does _NOT_ publish data or that
ARIN doesn't keep the data current, or something else?
