Secret Pentagon program expires 8 months after Trump left office – By Sandra Salathe (Daily Mail) / Sept 13 2021
Minutes before former President Donald Trump left office, a shadowy company residing at a shared workspace above a Florida bank took control over a large chunk of internet space owned by the Pentagon.
Now the Department of Defense has reclaimed the 175 million IP addresses – about six percent the size of the entire current internet – from Global Resource Systems LLC, which is headquartered in Plantation, Florida, the Washington Post reported Friday.
‘It is massive. That is the biggest thing in the history of the internet,’ said Doug Madory, director of internet analysis at Kentik, a network operating company.
It’s also more than twice the size of the internet space actually used by the Pentagon.
