<div class="">You should be pleased then, as the proposed fee change is not on the backs of the smallest end-users – the average change for those with /20 in IPv4 number resources or less (7130 customers of the 8000)) is an increase of $126 (i.e. approximately
$900K of the $3.8M total.) </div>

<div class="">Sure… I’ve always felt that there was an equity issue with the larger end-users paying so little, but how is that remaining $2.9M distributed?</div>
