Hi Denis,<br>
<br>
I don't buy that reasoning. If you look at the systemic cost of<br>
announcing a route to the BGP system (that everybody else has to pay<br>
annually to accommodate your presence) it still exceeds the one-time<br>
cost of acquiring a /24 on the open market. Every ARIN registrant<br>
spends other peoples' money, and not a small amount of it.<br>
