squatting on and using it as RFC1918 space (even though it's marked as Future Use) completely goes against the bottom-up approach of policy development. Big tech can't dictate what we do with IP space just to appease their shareholders.</span></div>

The fact that it's now used internally in places, is yet another reason it <br>
will never show up in the global routing table.<br>
<br>
Turning 240/4 into something usable on the wider Internet is a futile <br>
fight. It's however good for internal use as IPv4 already often needs <br>
translation boxes to talk to the global Internet (DFZ). So the work <br>
already done on making end systems able to use 240/4 is fine, but it also <br>
meant it's now used for internal things. So the fight should be to make it <br>
into proper RFC1918 style addresses for internal use so everybody agrees <br>
what's going on.<br>
