Regulatory bodies can fine you. Not all regulation comes with guns, hippies. ;) And .. The FCC does have access to people with guns, as does any US Federal Agency. Try transmitting illegally on an FM band for a while and see who shows up. I'd be shocked if people with guns didn't arrive in record time. -----Original Message----- From: Curtis Maurand [mailto:cmaurand@xyonet.com] Sent: Friday, April 09, 2010 10:15 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: ARIN IP6 policy for those with legacy IP4 Space On 4/9/2010 1:43 PM, William Herrin wrote:
No, ARIN is not a regulator. Regulators have guns or access to people with guns to enforce the regulations that they enact. ARIN has no such power.
The FCC is a regulator. The California PUC is a regulator. ARIN is not a regulator.
Last I heard, the FCC has access to people with law degrees not guns. Much like ARIN, really.
ARIN can act by de-allocating your network and revoking your ASN's. They can't fine you, but if you violate the RSA, they can revoke your stuff. That seems regulatory to me. --Curtis
