Well, outside of RIR speak, I can't justify quadrupling my cost for what the community considers to be the minimum ISP allocation. Maybe that's a better phrasing? *shrugs* {insert rent is too damn high meme}?
This 8 bit network division stuff does make it difficult for ARIN to adequately assess fees, I'm sure. Most anyone could get by with the /32 bucket, which also happens to be the minimum I should be using. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Owen DeLong" <o...@delong.com> To: "Mike Hammett" <na...@ics-il.net> Cc: "nanog group" <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Saturday, October 3, 2015 2:04:48 PM Subject: Re: How to wish you hadn't forced ipv6 adoption (was "How to force rapid ipv6 adoption") Yes… This is a problem the ARIN board needs to fix post haste, but that’s not justification, that’s cost.
