I agree. Many of those corporations would have a hard time justifying
an entire /8, even IBM. They just don't run large public networks any
longer. Much of what they do is done on private nets. I would make all
of the corporate legacy networks justify their /8's. I'll almost bet
none of them can justify them any longer. I worked for a large medical
company (30,000 seats) and we didn't use an entire /24.
