[CLUE-Tech] Buying an IP.

[Adam Bultman]

At a previous job, I inquired about Buying an ip.

For my company, it was completely impossible.  From what I understand, 
Tier 1 providers basically 'own' the IPs, and 'rent' them to you. If they 
feel like yanking them:  Tough bits, it's theirs in the end.  I inquired 
as far as I could, but again - a single IP would be hard to come by (and 
you'd have a hard time routing it if you wanted to move it) and a full 
BLOCK of IPs would be even harder to get.

If you can manage it, let me know - I'd like to know what strings I could 
pull to get my very own IP.
