So we’re approximately here at the beginning of December 2021 -

       7500 ISPs (i.e. services under an RSA / Members)
       8500 End-users (i.e. services under an RSA / Not Members Today)
     15250 Legacy non-contracted (receiving services w/o fee or agreement / Not Members)

In a month (January 2022) it will become -

     16000 ARIN IPv4/IPv6 customers (i.e. services under an RSA and with membership rights)
     15250 Legacy non-contracted (receiving services w/o fee or agreement / Not Members)

Hi John,

What happened to the count of ASN-only customers who, as you've
previously mentioned, are under an RSA but are not converting to
having membership rights?

There are approximately 8000 ASN-only customers – they all have RSAs with ARIN, pay a $150 annual maintenance fee per ASN and are not ARIN members. Neither their fees nor relationship to ARIN changes in 2022.

(ARIN customers with IPv4 or IPv6 number resources simply pay their annual registration plan based on total size of their number resource holdings but have no ASN maintenance fees – this is one reason why many smaller end-user customers see their overall ARIN fees drop with the 2022 fee schedule change.)
