Well, GE is the largest corporation in the world. The total employees
in all seven divisions and their components is just over 1.7 million.
That is a lot. Add in all the IP devices in NBC's network alone and
you've got a huge number of justifiable space right there. Further,
they, uh sorry, we, :-) are renumbering all acquired companies into the
3.0.0.0/8 range and returning the historic class B's (i.e. Ameridata,
Bodan, etc.).
