[arin-discuss] Size Categories for IPv6.

[Mike Joseph]

Despite the complexity, I think they still make sense.  We will eventually
see a dramatic decrease in IPv4 allocations (granted, a decade or more out),
and with that, a drop off of the IPv4 ISP annual revenue.  That will leave
only the IPv6 allocations (assignments will be less frequent) as a
significant revenue stream.

So if we went with a one-size-fits-all model for IPv6 ISP fees, the smaller
ISPs would end up having to pay quite a bit more, I think.  It would be
interesting to see how the numbers would work out for that.  Were we do
adopt such a policy today, it means that the single IPv6 annual fee would
probably be higher than the lower levels of the IPv4 fees, resulting in a
fee increase to any network adopting IPv6.
