Nope, its not. But it has -lots- of cash and is willing to
do whatever it takes. Same as today for folks dealing w/ the
micro-allocation issue. They don't want to get a small block
from each of their providers and run virtual interfaces, they
want a canonical name/number mapping. e.g. www.bigco.com
is always reachable at 127.127.0.127.
