[arin-discuss] ipv6 fees in new fee structure

[Randy Carpenter]

To add a counterpoint, the new fee schedule is better in every way for me and all of my customers, and makes much more sense. I have several customers who have ~/17 of IPv4 space ($4,500/year), and currently have /32 of IPv6, but really need the next step (/28. $9,000/year). Under the new schedule, it would be $4,000 rather than $9,000

Making the /36 cost less than the /32 was an issue that needed to be fixed as well, and I think John Curran's clarification that you can shrink a current /32 to a /36 if desired is a good compromise.

thanks,
-Randy
