Probably no interest until somebody figures how to Trademark an IP address and claim ownership to it, so when the DHCP server assigns it to somebody else, she/he will sue you for Trademark violation. I'd probably bet that there are several attorneys out there trying to figure how to milk the IP address space, particularly now that IPv4 space is becoming scarce and there is an emerging market for it.

ICANN is focused so hard on the money-making gTLD launch that it may have taken its eye off the ball in a globally far-more-important function (IMO), ensuring the world doesn't run out of IP addresses.
Do we have a role to play in putting this back on ICANN's agenda as its #1 issue going forward?
TLDs just affects the directory services, and the scarcity is arguably artificial. Availability of IP addresses is a real issue that affects availability and connectivity, which to me is fundamentally more important than domain names.
What is ICANN doing on, and to promote awareness of, June 6?<http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/ipv6-countdown-to-launch.html>
