[arin-ppml] {Spam?} Re: Open Letter Regarding 650% Rate-Hike for Legacy Users

[Steve Noble]

Your and my view of rich are obviously different but let's put that aside.

But my point was very specific, if people are talking about ARIN running a
deficit and having to raise rates, you should look at the costs of the
organization.

If you are complaining to John that the rate increases are not fair, again,
look at the costs. If they are too high, then they can be lowered and the
rates lowered along with them.

If you think ARIN is doing everything correctly including compensation then
I don't see the issue as it appears that John supports this billing model.

If you don't agree, than let's have a productive discussion.
