<p>Alternatively: ARIN is honoring the different contractual terms.
Sometimes (right now) that is a benefit and sometimes (later) that
is a cost. Anyone unhappy with that difference is still permitted
to move to the RSA scenario (albeit irreversibly) so they have the
option of keeping all the benefits now then moving to a single RSA
to avoid the costs later. That's a great deal!<br>
</p>
<p>From the perspective of someone without an LRSA, this is already
inequitable. Two resource holders with e.g. a v4 /22 and a v6 /48
should be treated the same, not differently based on what year
that /22 was issued.<br>

<p>Why should LRSA holders receive an additional benefit (fee
increase protections) over RSA holders not just now, but even
after price harmonization occurs for them, at no cost?<br>
