Re: Sprint's route filters and Europe

4) you can't charge for addresses because they're just numbers and have no value (tell that to the US Treasury) ... P.S. So which rathole are we going to go down this time? 30 quatloos on rathole #4 (it's my favorite 'cause it's so silly (Hi Brian!)).

Well, since you ask... My view is still that charging for routing announcements is necessary and sufficient - but as I've said before, I think that registries should charge for their *services*, and allocating an address block is a service. So I don't think we're that far apart. See you in Montreal. Brian
