Doing it this is very dishonest and tells you a lot about what kind of people work at Akamai communications department.

Linode employee here! We're also sending tickets to active customers about this – if you have services with us, you should get a ticket (and email) at some point today.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

IPv4 addresses are a scarce resource and we’re running out of them. Of course they will go up in price.

But isn't it against IANA policy to sell or let other resell IPs?

Think of it more like a "lease" — you don't own the IP, just the right to apply it to one of your instances for a time.

Exactly. And to linode’s credit they default give you free IPv6 so it’s an option. I had a database server on IPv6 only for awhile (though you can do the same with private IPs if you need, it’s easier to SSH directly).

AWS would charge for static IPs and absolutely no way to get IPv6 pretty recently, I think they might finally be changing.
