New IPv4 Allocation to ARIN

Mon Jan 19 17:27:38 UTC 2004

It has been known for quite some time that next block to be allocated to 
ARIN is 70/8 (and next one will be 71/8). It might have been nice if ARIN 
were to run projections and inform community that by its projections it 
will be requesting new /8 ip block in say 2 month time.
