[arin-discuss] [ppml] Counsel statement onLegacyassignments?(fwd)

[David Picard]

You have to consider that sometimes large operators have very large blocs
since a while and they have not done any requests for a while.

For example when you have 12 B Classes for 500k customers you have a lot of
IP addresses to waste...
Considering that you having no to very low fee you have a financial and
competitive advantage.

A competitor will not be able to justify 2 IPs adresses per customer and
will have to pay for larger allocations if he succeed to justify his
request.

So if everyone pay the same price,  it will be fair for eveyone and it will
discourage wasting of ip addresses.

I suspect this is a misimpression, if an understandable one...  If the
cable operators are large, they certainly have more customers than would
be accommodated by a couple of actual legacy Class B networks.  That means
that they're coming back to ARIN periodically to get more space.  If
they're coming back for more space, they have to justify their current
sub-allocations just as you do, and so they're operating under exactly the
rules you do.  How many addresses a customer _wants_ is irrelevant. Both
you and the cable operator have the same capacity to give them as many as
they _need_.
