However, looking at the high fees imposed by ARIN for address assignment, I really hope this practice will not remain in its current form. As anyone can clearly see, the fees are extremely high, and will surely cause a raise in costs that are incurred by the end user in one way or another.
Listen, many of us have already lived through the e-mail Jihad on the ARIN mailing list, so I really don't want to see this thread perpetuated here. Please, subscribe to the naipr list and have a blast, but please, not here. I would suggest that you take a little time, read the 'recommended reading' list assembled on the ARIN web pages, surf the naipr mailing list archives, etc. I would also suggest that you examine the fact that the Internet community in the European (RIPE) and Asia Pacific (APNIC) communities have been living with similar *service* models for a few years.
Put simply, I would LOVE to hear some justification for the high fees imposed by ARIN (in terms of administrative work on their end that is, not considering the whole scarcity of addresses factor).
They are a not-for-profit organization which must be self-sustaining. 'Nuff said. Happy Holidays, - paul
