Hi Jack,

My back of the envelope calculations put it more like $5 to $10 per
/24, but I haven't closely checked the math.

37*65536=2.4M. ARIN's annual budget is something like $15M? 15/2.4=$6.25.

This would mean that entities (ISP and end-user both) which find it
needful to employ IPv4 /9's would see their annual fees increase from
$36k to $200k. But having run an 18k customer ISP on a little less
than a /16 ($4500 now, $1600 with the formula) it seems to me that
wouldn't break anyone's budget.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
