In 2010, faced with possible depletion of the Internet IP address resources, held in Beijing yesterday, the Asia-Pacific Network Information Center, an open policy meetings (APNIC) to open up the IP address of the formal discussion of the trading problems, or growth-promoting an entirely new market.
At present, for the sale of IP addresses, there are two very different perspectives. One is that, IP address of the sale will allow rational allocation of resources, while the other view, which will enhance the cost of gaining access to IP addresses.
At present business organizations from the ISP (Internet service provider) in question applied to obtain IP addresses and bandwidth rental charges are usually packaged together, the average down and also a few cents. And if a separate application for IP addresses, to obtain the cost of even a few hundred dollars up to one. "If the IP address of an open trading, the price will be entirely decided by market supply and demand." Chinese Internet experts from the Center, told reporters.
According to informed sources, the current IP address in private transfers and the sale of the phenomenon already exists. The discussion of the problem is that in order to bring this sort of trading standardized.
In fact, "China's IP address will be exhausted within two years, new Internet users without network will be able to" point of view is not sensational. Chinese Academy of Engineering Vice President, Internet-based network of researchers Academician Wu said that the current Internet users in China almost three share an IP address to IP addresses by 2010, could face depletion, impact speed Internet users.
Therefore, if the IP address of an open trading, or will to some extent alleviate the problem, and even produced a whole new commercial market.
