		<title> 2025 IPv4 Price Trends and 2026 Predictions (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts2025-ipv4-price-trends-2026-predictions</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts2025-ipv4-price-trends-2026-predictions</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Through 2024, IPv4 leasing stayed steady at about $0.50 per IP per month, even as purchase prices diverged by block size. Large blocks (like /16) corrected notably while smaller blocks (/20 - /24) remained comparatively firm. That spread reflected shifting enterprise behavior (more surgical allocations, less speculative buying) and the resilience of subscription-like leasing in unstable conditions. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts2025-ipv4-price-trends-2026-predictions">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/postsrethinking-europeas-cloud-future-balancing-regulation-and-innovation</link>
		<description><![CDATA[European efforts to build independent cloud infrastructure face challenges from regulatory overreach and dependence on U.S. cloud providers. Some say that a balanced approach focused on collaboration and flexible standards will be needed to strengthen data sovereignty and foster regional growth. Eighty percent of corporate executives in Germany say that Europe's future prosperity will depend on secure and independent digital infrastructure. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsrethinking-europeas-cloud-future-balancing-regulation-and-innovation">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title>  The IPv6 Divide: How Slow Adoption Creates Digital Vulnerabilities and Economic Inequality (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/poststhe-ipv6-divide-how-slow-adoption-creates-digital-vulnerabilities-and-economic-inequality</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/poststhe-ipv6-divide-how-slow-adoption-creates-digital-vulnerabilities-and-economic-inequality</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The shift to IPv6 has escalated into a matter of national security, as nations lagging in adoption are increasingly exposed to cyber threats and diminished control over their digital infrastructure due to the limited availability of IPv4. With IPv6-only environments becoming more common, reliance on IPv4 may lead to slower connectivity, deepening the digital divide and potentially worsening economic disparities. In this geopolitical landscape, moving to IPv6 serves as a critical step toward maintaining digital independence. <a href="https://circleid.com/poststhe-ipv6-divide-how-slow-adoption-creates-digital-vulnerabilities-and-economic-inequality">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Opinion: IP Leasing Should Become a Market Standard (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20230324-opinion-ip-leasing-should-become-a-market-standard</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the Asia-Pacific region (APNIC) recently held its 55th meeting in conjunction with APRICOT, from 20 February to 2 March 2023, in Manila, USA. One of the critical discussions at the conference was centered on the APNIC policy that does not accept IP leasing and has a questionable understanding of its necessity. According to the APNIC policy manual, which was referenced during the meeting, APNIC allocates and assigns resources based on need, and 'leasing is not allowed' nor does it form a basis for further need. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20230324-opinion-ip-leasing-should-become-a-market-standard">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Are Big Tech CFOs (Inadvertently) Stealing From Shareholders? (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts20210112-are-big-tech-cfos-inadvertently-stealing-from-shareholders</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20210112-are-big-tech-cfos-inadvertently-stealing-from-shareholders</link>
		<description><![CDATA[When valuing a stock, analysts and shareholders evaluate always revenue and profit. Big tech COFs are sitting on assets worth tens of millions of dollars of annual profit (not just revenue, but true profit) in the form of unallocated IPv4 addresses. By not selling or leasing these out, they are incurring expenses to hold them and missing out on tremendous profits. At a 20X multiple (for context, Cisco is trading at nearly 18X earnings, Google at just over 33X earnings, Shopify at well over 700X earnings), big tech CFOs are actively preventing over $250 billion in market capitalization for their shareholders. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20210112-are-big-tech-cfos-inadvertently-stealing-from-shareholders">More...</a>]]></description>
