Waste will kill ipv6 too

M&A plays into this too.  By my calculations, CenturyLink controls at
least 17 million /48s.  How many sites does CenturyLink provide
service to?  I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's not 17 million.

3 acquisitions rolled up into AS209:

RIR assignments to non ISPs are also relatively dense.  If you have multiple sites you don’t need contiguous addresses.
