Strangely, it seems like we might actually end up paying less with the 
new schedule.  Under the current schedule we're a medium sized ISP (/18) 
and we pay $4500/year.  We were on the fence about whether we should ask 
for a small or large IPv6 allocation, but went with a /32 for all the 
usual reasons.  If I'm reading the new schedule correctly, we'd be 
reclassified as a small ISP and our fees would actually go down to 
$2000/year.  I'm sure I must be misunderstanding things, though, since 
that seems incredibly unlikely.
