None of the big guys are paying this much, especially for blocks this size. $5-10/IP.

Nice to see they get backroom deals for about 0.15% of the ip addresses on the internet, AND massive discounts.

A volume discount isn't a backroom deal. Unless you think for some reason the group that controls 44.0.0.0/8 is beholden to Amazon or big tech for some reason.

No, but the deal itself is certainly extremely suspect and with a total lack of transparency for a supposedly public resource.

We will know because they will have to report the income on their public tax return.
