Well, there's no billing problems with the IP allocation function
because they don't currently bill for it. (Only half a smiley here).

However, it *does* behoove us to understand exactly *why* the NSI
people are having problems, lest ARIN go down the same path.  I don't
think anybody seriously claims that the NSI billing situation is not
severely sub-optimal.  I don't see much wisdom in proceeding with a
second similar endeavor until we understand why the first one had
problems.

And yes, I *know* that "domaain names and IP addresses are *TOTALLY*
different, so obviously there will be *no* screwups with sending bills
to the wrong people, or turning IP allocations off for non-payment, or
any of the other problems that the DNS side of the fence has had.

Right?  If you agree, send me private e-mail, I have some GREAT
investment opportunities to tell you about... ;)
