Interesting use of the word "discriminatory", as it is usually used in the context of having different rates or fees for different categories of people or things... Used as you have, nearly everything (including equipment makers, conference fees, and the local coffee shop) all have "discriminatory" fees. Myself, I'd call such fees to be uniform, but do recognize that such uniform fees have a disproportionate impact on smaller service providers. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
