Shouldn't the big boys (the ones who started all of this filtering) and the InterNIC be forced to come up with a fairer solution? At least if they don't do so voluntarily?
It is a fair solution, I did not like it. I started a few years ago with a Sprint T1 and IP space, we then renumbered into some MCI space. After that we got some space from the NIC. We then had to renumber that into a larger block from the nic. When I started I wanted my small amounts of address space to come from internic, but now that we have a nationwide network and are connected to 8 NAPs I know why I had to wait. The internic is not out to get the small guys, and if you get larger they will give you space. You will just need to get your space from your transit provider and then if you get big, renumber. I know there are a few provider out to get the small guys, but most just want to make the net better. Things like only peering with providers who are connected to all NSF NAPs and filtering are things they need to do.
