Just curious: why not set up a separate entity to apply for IPv6 space? Do you get a cheaper fee (or other brownie points) if you already have an allocation? John Palmer (NANOG Acct) wrote (on Wed, Apr 07, 2010 at 03:59:30PM -0500):
Yah, thats what we are thinking here. We'll probably stick with IP4 only.
Sounds like ARIN has set a trap, so that virtually any contact with them will result in the ceding of legacy rights.
We'll be sure to avoid any such contact.
Thanks everyone for the info.

It's not the initial assignment fee that's really an impediment, it's moving from a model where the address space is free (or nearly so) to a model where you're paying a significant annual fee for the space.
We'd be doing IPv6 here if not for the annual fee. As it stands, there isn't that much reason to do IPv6, and a significant disincentive in the form of the fees.
