Terry,

The fee issue is a Red Herring.

Smallest V4 Allocation Fee: $1250.00 /21 or longer (2048 unique  
addresses)
Smallest V6 Allocation Fee: $1250.00 /48 or longer (154.7425049  
septillion addresses)

Section 11 of the NRPM also defines experimental allocations for both  
v4 and v6 and there is a fee schedule supporting it.


Best,

Martin
