a lot of people have some whitelists to update before ec2 free tier abuse starts spewing out whitelisted spam to poor 2000s-era windows xp machines.
that's cray cray

As an amateur radio operator, member of the 44net mailing list and active user of 44net space, I was shocked at how poorly this sale was communicated. No one (including the 44net technical committee) had any prior knowledge of this sale and now myself and fellow amateur radio network operators are frantically scrambling to update ACLs before getting flooded with EC2 spam.
I don't think the sale was necessarily a bad thing, but the underhanded, sneaky way it was implemented was abhorrent.
It makes one wonder where exactly that money is going ... but perhaps the accounting is transparent ... nevertheless (from our current perspective) an almost unbelievable story of IPv4 allocation.
