Wait do georgists describe any "finite natural resource" as "land"? Is clean drinking water "land"? Are radio frequencies "land"? Are domains "land"? (I mean domain names aren't "natural" but neither are IPv4 addresses????)
replyWeird-ass ideology
Whereas IPv6 is effectively unlimited, so by Georgist principles should be free. I wonder if charging 'rent' on IPv4 addresses would be enough to get people to switch over?
replyIf you tax it, you get less of it.
replyIncidentally, auctions of time bounded licenses, which are what we use to allocate frequency spectrum, have the same theoretical pareto efficiency as a value tax.
reply>IPv4 is actually a form of land (it's a finite "natural resource", although that's not quite proper),
replyIt's closer to radiofrequencies I think, these are heavily regulated.
However radiofrequencies are purely natural resources, while IPv4 have a specific copyrightable spec design, domains have trademarkable TLDs
