[arin-ppml] Automatic IPv6 Eligibility

Thu Aug 13 17:40:41 EDT 2015

As an ISP, you are billed on your total address holdings, not individual blocks.

So, a /22 and 4 /24s would be billed identically.

ISPs do not pay separate annual fees for ASNs. There is a one time fee for each ASN
the same as end-users (currently $500).

In your example, 4 /24s, a /40, and an ASN, you would pay the greater of $500 (IPv4 /22)
or $500 (IPv6 /40) if you could somehow get a /40.

However, under current policy, the smallest block available to an ISP directly from ARIN
is a /36. A /36 is $1,000 annually, so if you got a /36, your fees would go up to $1,000.
The smallest recommended (and default minimum) is /32, which is currently $2,000.

Unfortunately, that will cause your annual subscription fee with ARIN to double to $2,000.  You still won’t pay a registration fee for getting the /32, but when your next annual bill is sent, it will be for $2,000 rather than $1,000.

Many tens of thousands of dollars, probably, depending on what you want to get.   You may wish to balance the cost of obtaining more IPv4 addresses in the market with what revenue opportunities those addresses represent, then factor in how you can (or cannot) leverage IPv6 to make those numbers work better for you.  Just a suggestion, and sorry if I’m overstepping.
