[arin-discuss] tweak to proposed fee schedule

[Adam Greene]

Hi,

I have not been following this issue closely, so my comment may be obvious or may otherwise already have been considered. We are a small ISP (less than 700 subscribers), with (2) /22 IPv4 assignments. We're currently paying $1250/yr for them. I understand the proposed July 2013 fee schedule will reduce our fees $250/yr, which is great. But we would very much like to start ramping up IPv6. The main obstacle to our requesting an IPv6 assignment has been cost. If we could get an IPv6 assignment of the same relative size as our IPv4 assignment without paying more, we would do it in a heartbeat. If ARIN wants to make a /32 the smallest assignment that ISPs obtain, then I think it should allow a small ISP to obtain a /32 at a minimum without having to increase its fees. In our case, that would mean making an X-Small assignment include a /32 block.

I recognize my point of view is limited as a small ISP. I just wanted to make sure it was heard at least.  John Curran's comment from a few days ago, "We just follow the policy that you folks develop and support via this mailing list and the Public Policy meetings" inspired me to participate.

Thanks,
Adam

(Again, minus the smartphone autocorrection) -

Not automatically, but if you need it, you should apply for it as soon as possible, as we still have availability. The fee category is the smallest one which accommodates both your IPv4 and IPv6 resources, and as long as you meet the requirements for an additional assignment, we can issue you an the additional /20 of IPv4 space.

Thanks!
