ARIN still offers IPv4 /24 blocks for $275 a year

Original: You can still get a IPv4 /24 from ARIN for $275⅌year, with strings attached

ARIN, the regional internet registry for North America, still lets organisations obtain a /24 IPv4 address block for an annual fee of $275, though with restrictions attached. The claim has drawn attention among network engineers, since IPv4 addresses are otherwise scarce and often traded on secondary markets at far higher prices. Discussion centres on what conditions apply and whether the deal is practical in reality.

Why now: IPv4 address scarcity makes any cheap way to obtain a block noteworthy for network operators.
