Exactly..... So.. do I have to be in the US to get ARIN space? Technically space you get is announceable anywhere in the world... Can I just have a /32 from ARIN please and not pay the ton of money that APNIC ask for? I can setup a POBOX in New York if that will help? ;-) Actually, that is an interesting question... If I have a network I am building in the US/other locale, but I am based here, can I become an ARIN/RIPE/etc member and get a range out of them? ...Skeeve -----Original Message----- From: Peter J.

A succinct summary, see below !
However, in the ARIN region, you do not need to be a member to get address space. The renewal fee for end-user space is $100/year. If you can't afford $100/year, how are you staying connected to the network or paying to power your equipment?
APNIC fees are an order of magnitude (or more) higher ! http://www.apnic.net/member/feesinfo.html#non_mem_fee ftp://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/docs/non-member-fees-2008 (APNIC-118) I quote from APNIC-118 : A host address in IPv4 is defined as a /32 and a site address in IPv6 is defined a /48. The initial fee for an assignment or allocation of IP addresses is AU$1.27 per host or site address, with a minimum fee of AU$10,384. After the first year of the initial assignment or allocation, there is an annual registration fee is AU$0.127 per host or site address, with a minimum fee of AU$1,038.40.
