This has been stated enough times that I assumed you would have
understood by now that the fees are to fund the registry only.
And the name is Postel - not Postal.

Nowhere is it implied that businesses and individuals cannot use
the Internet if they do not join and pay fees.  Please reread the
proposal, Mr. Bass.

ARIN will, as does the InterNIC, allocate globally unique
addresses.  ARIN will not route or guarantee routability of addresses.

Ms. Hubbard didn't propose anything.  And I'm already in a
salaried position and managing the affairs of IP allocation for
this region under the authority of the IANA.

Well, if you mean that ARIN will use the same allocation guidelines
as InterNIC/RIPE/APNIC are using than yes you could say its the
same scheme.
