      <description><![CDATA[IPv4's fixed supply masks a crucial mismatch: addresses can be acquired quickly but deployed only gradually. After 2025's price declines, returns increasingly depend on lease rates, absorption speed and the operator's ability to monetise inventory.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Internet institutions can remain operational while losing the legitimacy that sustains their authority.
