[arin-discuss] IPv6 as justification for IPv4?

[Jesse D. Geddis]

John/Dmitry,

Thank you. It sounds like block linear would be the most appropriate label of what would scale the best, most simply, predictably, and most equitably, in my opinion. Or at least best describes what I'm highlighting as a suggestion for a new fee model.
