I've also heard that. Another rumor is that Domain Name Registration is going to now cost $250/year, instead of $50/year.
Haven't heard that one, but I doubt they'd be that stupid.
Class C address space is going to cost you $2500/year. The $9.95/month ISPs are out of business. What's this going to do to the small and struggling businesses out there? Class B networks are now going to cost $637500 at that price. So, look for prices on everything to start going up to cover the costs for your upstream providers.
That one I have heard. The actual pricing structure in the early ARIN proposals (http://www.arin.net/) was scalable; it was never $2500 per class C unless you're getting them one at a time, in non-contiguous blocks. These kinds of conspiracy theories are on literally dozens of other mailing lists, including NAIPR and PAGAN. Please note the reply-to. ********************************************************* J.D.
