[arin-discuss] ipv6 fees in new fee structure

[Alex Krohn]

Hi,

In the new pending fee structure here:

    https://www.arin.net/fees/pending_fee_schedule.html#isps

ISP's that have up to and including a /20 (X-Small) and who were "early"
adopters and received a /32 IPv6 allocation which was the minimum
allocation size at the time, will see their fees double.

This was discussed on the lists a lot in the past in this thread:

    http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-discuss/2012-March/002112.html

and a lot of opposition against seeing the rates double or being forced
to get a /36 and re-number.

What was the rational with going forward with this and not making a /32
be in the X-Small (or XX-Small I suppose), as that was the minimum size
available for a lot of people?

Thanks,

Alex
