NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwired) — 07/10/17 — Hilco Streambank (), the operator of as well as a global IPv4 brokerage platform , announces today its exclusivity to offer RadioShack®–s internal and unused IPv4 addresses to the public market.
In 2015, Hilco Streambank sold RadioShack Corporation–s intellectual property, including trademarks, patents, customer databases, domains and IPv4 addresses to General Wireless IP Holdings LLC (GWIP), an affiliate of General Wireless Operations Inc. d/b/a RadioShack (the “Company”). In March 2017, the Company and some of its affiliates filed for bankruptcy protection and now Hilco Streambank is marketing the Company–s IPv4 addresses separately from the other intangible assets. There are currently more than 32,000 addresses that will be listed in block sizes ranging from /24-/20 subnets available at . The IPv4 assets associated with the Company have been pre-approved by the bankruptcy court for sale.
Although IPv4 addresses remain a key component of growing networks, according to the , the free pool of IPv4 addresses reached exhaustion as of September 2015, while other regions across the globe have nearly depleted their supply and are rationing their remaining addresses.
