To wind up paying 9k/year you'd have to get a little more than a "simple IPv6 block for testing/deployment"<br><br>"Large" bills at 9k/year - and a large is defined as "blocks equal to or larger than a /29, up to and including a /27"<br>
<br>I believe typical allocation is either a /48 or a /32<br><br>/48 is X-small -> $1,250<br>/32 is small -> $2,250<br><br>This is the actual fee schedule: <a href="http://www.arin.net/billing/fee_schedule.html#ipv6_alloc">http://www.arin.net/billing/fee_schedule.html#ipv6_alloc</a><br>
<br>The link you posted is the waiver schedule - in short.. they slowly ramp you up over the next 4 years to paying the full amount for whatever level you are at:<br><br>Year You Pay<br>2008 - 10%<br>2009 - 25%<br>2010 - 50%<br>

Howard, I'd like to point out that this page is darn near<br>
indecipherable by most people. It has confused every person in our<br>
company who tried to read it, and frankly I only learned what we would<br>
be paying by calling ARIN and having it explained to me.<br>
<br>
And it's not the math -- I'm great at math. It's the in-out-who-is-<br>
what-huh? nature of the document. This is a build-your-own-path story<br>
that someone forgot to include the junctions in.<br>
<br>
And I just reread it, and now I'm even more confused than I was<br>
originally. From what I can see, acquiring a simple IPv6 block for<br>
testing/deployment in our network will make us liable for $9k a year<br>
within 4 years. Why on god's green earth would I want to do that?<br>
