I think it's about time that the following net blocks get forcibly reallocated.
Code:
NetRange: 3.0.0.0 - 3.255.255.255 CIDR: 3.0.0.0/8 OrgName: General Electric Company NetRange: 9.0.0.0 - 9.255.255.255 CIDR: 9.0.0.0/8 OrgName: IBM Corporation NetRange: 13.0.0.0 - 13.255.255.255 CIDR: 13.0.0.0/8 OrgName: Xerox Corporation NetRange: 15.0.0.0 - 15.255.255.255 CIDR: 15.0.0.0/8 NetRange: 16.0.0.0 - 16.255.255.255 CIDR: 16.0.0.0/8 OrgName: Hewlett-Packard Company NetRange: 17.0.0.0 - 17.255.255.255 CIDR: 17.0.0.0/8 OrgName: Apple Inc. NetRange: 19.0.0.0 - 19.255.255.255 CIDR: 19.0.0.0/8 OrgName: Ford Motor Company It was wasteful to give private companies in the US entire /8 ranges, and in the case of HP, 2 full /8 ranges. This is just a small example, the US military also has large portions of the IPv4 space for their own mostly internal uses. |

Why not just deallocate them?

Yes, that would be a necessary initial step.. the companies holding them should definitely donate them willingly, not that it's going to happen.
