ARIN provides a uniques service related to unique numbers and its role suggests limited overlap. It is not close to being a monopoly in any significant economic sense of the term.<BR>

I agree with Dean Anderson regarding his point about ARIN travel.<BR>
<BR>
It often, in my opinion, seems pointless and as much could be<BR>
accomplished with teleconferencing or videoconferencing.<BR>
<BR>
We are supposed to be an example of the new way of communicating yet<BR>
ARIN is still motivating people to fly to far off places and spend<BR>
resources above and beyond what is needed to confer.<BR>
<BR>
The outreach is a joke, in my opinion. They don't need to sell or<BR>
peddle address space. Every college kid receiving a diploma today knows<BR>
about the net and can find out how to get address space quite easily<BR>
through Google.<BR>
<BR>
Regarding the rebuttal: It strengthens ARIN<BR>
<BR>
How does it strengthen ARIN? ARIN is a form of a monopoly. It has a<BR>
charge to administrate address space. Nobody can compete. Everybody<BR>
who wants to participate can participate. It is established.<BR>
<BR>
What do you mean by the word "Strengthen" - Does that mean it will help<BR>
arin to get members converted to IPV6 faster ? Will it reduce their<BR>
costs in some way ? Will it help them with a breakthrough development<BR>
in administrating address space? Yeah, right.<BR>
