[arin-discuss] Suggestion 2010.1 -- Initial Fee Waiver for IPv6 assignments to LRSA signatories

Your ARIN fees pay for registration services.  It takes just as long and as
much effort for someone to record the registration information for a /14 as
it does for a /24 so in reality the big guys are getting screwed because
they pay more for the same service the small guys get.

As you so strongly promote in other posts, IPs are not property so you are
not "buying" them.  Cost per IP has nothing to do with it.  It's the
registration services.

You really seem to have an axe to grind about everything.  Have you ever
considered therapy or maybe crack?  Maybe you just need a good woman... or
man if that's what you're into.  (Not judging anyone)  I hope the rest of
your life is happier than it seems to be here.

Aaron

I agree - however ARIN already is HEAVILY stacked in favor of the
large holders.  Check out the cost-per-IP address, it drops like a
rock as the number of IP addresses you obtain from ARIN grows.

Since we are already stacked in favor of the large holders, adjusting
the initial fee to bear more heavily on the large holders as I advise
actually brings ARIN to LESS of a point of favoring one segment of
address holders over another.

A blanket fee waiver continues to bias the costs more towards the 
smaller orgs with less numbers, which is what you claim you want to 
avoid - your logic is highly inconsistent here.

Either you just don't realize the cost issues involved or your being
disingenuous.
