Consider this… I discussed this topic at length with JJB (COMCAST at the time) and pushed hard on why they don’t give /48s to their residential customers. His answer was that if they did so, they would need to get a /12 from their RIR (ARIN). My question to him in response to that was “so?”.
I recently got this "so?" question asked [1] and I believe I follow you and see the point. My response was along the line: - today (at least here in AfriNIC-land - sorry to get out of "NA") the RIR charges membership fee depending on size of IPv4 allocations. - Will the RIR charge membership fee depending on IPv6 allocation size in 5 years from now? And it's a genuine question. Does anyone know what the intentions or likelihood of options are? Really interested. Thanks, Frank [1] by staff member asking why we don't replace the existing v6 /32 with something bigger.
