Re: wet-behind-the-ears whippersnapper seeking advice on building a nationwide network

As an ISP, ARIN will not give you any space if you are new. You have to already have an equivalent amount of space from another provider.

does arin *really* still have that amazing barrier to market entry? arin claims to be a shining example of industry self-governance. to me, this barrier to entry looks far more like industry self-protection from new entrants. and before anyone starts bleeding about the routing table, to me that sounds like you fear new entrants forcing you to make a small upgrade to your protected business as usual. randy
