[arin-ppml] About needs basis in 8.3 transfers

[CJ Aronson]

Elvis

My point was that the transfer market is not free so you may be able to get
addresses on the market.. maybe as many as you want but they are not
included in the annual RIPE fee..   They will cost money.  All you can
possibly get from RIPE for your annual fee is that one-time /22 and access
to the transfer market.   It is also the case (based on my discussions)
that RIPE asks you to use that address space within their region.

Thanks!
