Are you saying 12 /8s have recently been recovered/reclaimed?

Please, provide details!

I suspect this is completely untrue -- there just aren't /8s lying
around that are easily reclaimable! E.g., see:

http://www.icann.org/magazine/#reclamation

My sense is that the easy-to-reclaim /8s were reclaimed a long while
back, and there really isn't a lot of "unused" address space lying
around to cover the demand for space.

And to put this all in perspective, a dozen /8s corresponds to roughly
one year's worth of IPv4 consumption at recent consumption rates. One
year is not a lot of time in the overall scheme of things.
