The idea of a "clean" IP range is great, but it won't help little guys like us. Amazon can either:

1. Make it available only to Fortune 500s or AWS accounts with a monthly spent >$X million; heavy penalties and even legal action for anyone caught spamming. This way the IP range stays clean, but is out of reach for little guys like us trying run an VPN edge.

2. Make it available to everyone. But then spammers will farm AWS accounts and abuse the clean IP range until it is banned just like any other AWS IP range.
