The draft classifies Class-E as "Limited Use for Large Private Internets".
What large private internets are these, really? Are we discussing Google
potentially needing more than one /8 for its web servers, or are we
discussing providers (DSL, Wimax, 802.11, GSM, 3G or other) giving
customers addresses from 240/4 via DHCP or PPP?
Employees using 240/4 is one thing. Your mother-in-law getting
247.1.76.22 from her cable modem is quite another.

Cable companies need this amount of address space for
controlling the CPE boxes. The customers still get public
addresses. That's a minimum of two addresses per customer.
Large corporations need more than a /8.
