Earlier I was chastised for stating unfounded rumor about fees of up to $20,000/year yet a similar fee structure for new registrations/services from ARIN is being proposed. Just wanted to point out that I wasn't referencing unfounded rumor but rather a reference that needed qualified i.e. allocation services for organizations requesting address space directly from ARIN. ---------- From: David R.

Proposed charging up to $20,000 for IP addresses - more unsubstantiated rumor?

Sigh. Would you *please* read the proposal (http://www.arin.net/arin_proposal.html, http://www.arin.net/arin_faq.html might also be helpful). If you had you would see that the fee is for allocation _services_ and only applicable to organizations requesting address space _directly_ from ARIN.
