IP address acquisition plan
I need to buy IANA IP address plan.
My demand is / 16 or / 14. I hope to get a quote.

a /16 or /14 isn't coming easy lmaoooo. Even OVH struggles to get /16s
I think the defacto quote on LET is $7 for whatever you want.
Good luck!
Budget per IP? With IANA you mean legacy as in REAL legacy outside of ARIN (very rare) or just "normal" legacy within a RIR?
If you have the full amount upfront 325k US$ is reasonable for a /16, around 5$ per IP.
AFAIK, you cannot buy IP from IANA. IANA only hands out huge blocks to the 5 RIRs, ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, AFRINIC, and LACNIC. RIRs also don't sell IP addresses, they hand out blocks to ISPs and companies. You can request blocks from an RIR. Although they said it's not selling, but you still need to pay some money for owning and continuing to own them on a regular basis.
By the way, IANA has handed out all IP's long ago. ARIN also recently handed out all their IP's. If you want to get IP from ARIN, the only possibility is to buy/rent from ISP's or anyone who owns. You still have chance to get IP from other 4 RIRs. But it's also not that easy because they usually require you or your company must be in their regions.
My suggestion is if you have a short business plan on the huge block of IP's, go for it. Otherwise, be careful. Why? Although IPv6 is still not popular yet, the trend is IPv6 is really coming faster and faster. Once most ISP's are enabled with IPv6, IPv4 will die even faster. This may take years or even a decade, but the trend makes it happen faster and faster. Think about the floppy disks, CDROM/DVDROM. They will just suddenly die. I think IPv4 is no exception.
Right. We are also ARIN member. But it's already not possible to get any blocks directly from ARIN.
I can arrange, yes.
http://ipv4auctions.com/ has an ARIN /18 currently up. Price is currently $8/IP and closes in 25 days.
Maybe you should ask Xerox... they sold some blocks in the 13/8 range to MS.
Also UK GOV - thy r selling the 51/8 range and OVH grabbed a /15.
This. This a million times.
Hilco is used by legitimate ISPs to get legitimate ranges.
Annoying that they spam/sell/whatever your email address. Ended up dropping that (unique) email address.
