Noel, Opinion from an operator. There is a difference, and the reality is that the space is unlikely to be used by enterprises and consumers. Here is the difference. RFC1918 has been out (defined) for a long time, so it's well know by operators, enterprise folks and some consumers. There is a possibility that some "smart" netadmins may try and use the space, but nothing stops them form squatting on non-RFC1918 today anyway (and dealing with any conflicts that arise). There is a big difference if a consumer and an ISP has a conflict because both are [validly] using the same RFC1918 space vs. if a Consumer and an ISP conflict using special assigned space.
