[ARIN-consult] [arin-announce] Fee Schedule Change Consultation

[Owen DeLong]

Heather, that is for ISPs.

For end-users, the current fee is $100 no matter what you have unless you're a legacy holder that still refuses to sign any RSA in which case you pay $0.

In the proposed structure, end users would be charged $100 per record. $100 for an ASN and $100 for a /8 and $100 for a /24 and $100 for a /16 and $100 for a /22 and $100 for a /12 and $100 for an IPv6 /48 and $100 for an IPv6 /12.

(obviously no one organization is going to have all of those things, but, for each entry in whois, count up $100 and that's what you get charged as an end user under the current proposal).
