Actually, the company pays just the same as everyone else concerning
staffing at RIRs. As for scarce IP address space, the last report I
heard was that surge slowed down in time to keep it from being a serious
problem at this time.
If a company has a habit of making interconnections with other companies
and said company has several /16's worth of network, I can understand
their desire not to use 10/8, as a conflict on a new interconnect could
require massive renumbering. However, I do think there should be methods
in place to recognize that those routes should not be routed by others.
For example, 9/8 shouldn't ever be routed by anyone unless IBM changes
their mind and decides to route it.
