Enterprises are looking to buy IPv4 blocks for their business development to serve a large number of customers. This happens because of the few reasons below:
1. Limited supply of IPv4 address
The number of users in the internet world is increasing and causing the number of unused IPv4 addresses to get lesser. There is limited supply in the IPv4 market and the only way to own IPv4 addresses is by buying them. Hence, to serve the huge amount of users, enterprises have to buy the IPv4 blocks.
2. Slow IPv6 Deployment
IPv6 is being introduced to solve the IPv4 exhaustion. The address space of IPv6 is more than IPv4 and it provides more IP addresses available to use. However, IPv6 is new to the world, it will take time to shift from IPv4 to IPv6. Therefore, to save time, people tend to use IPv4 addresses for faster results.
3. Monetize IPv4 Blocks
Since IPv4 exhaustion, some people are grabbing the opportunities to buy IPv4 blocks and monetize them. There are 2 ways to monetize it which are leasing and selling, both can help to generate attractive revenue.
