I don't think the issue is *money* (at least the big issue; money is *always* an issue), but rather the all-of-sudden jump from being unregulated to regulated, whatever that means.
ARIN is not a regulator. The "jump" is from not paying for services that you have no contract for to paying for services that you do have a contract for.
BULL SH*T, ARIN makes determinations as to how many IP addresses it will issue and in that sense it is exactly a regulator.
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. Owen
