I must be missing something.  Once the pending fee schedule goes into 
place, my ISP colleagues who have a /22 of space or less will pay 
$500/year.  The moment that they ask for IPv6, under current policy and 
pending fee schedule, they will have to pay $1000/year.  How is that "no 
charge"?

I would like to see what you have described implemented, which is why I 
submitted the policy proposal, but I don't see how it's no charge without 
the change.

And yes, I am in contact with at least 2 very small service providers that 
this potentially effects.  At least one of them is poor enough that the 
$500/year difference DOES make a difference and must be considered when 
they decide if they are going to deploy IPv6.
