So what have we learned from this?

Ivan,

I am glad that you brought this up in the IAHC discussion.
You might also want to join the ARIN discussion. It is
supposed to cover these topics.

Your experience in these areas could be helpful to
the ARIN discussions.

So NSI stops subsidising the IP address assignment out of Domain Name fees.
So, do the Domain Name fees go down? And, by how much? Or do NSI add this
to their profit?
