Cathy, So, does this mean that our new budget needs to include $20K for ARIN "membership"? --Elise

Not only does it make entrace into the ISP market more difficult, but it allows the creation of a highly profitable market for the resale of IP addresses if you buy then in bulk to beging with (yeah, yeah I know about allocation policies, but I seen people get large blocks easily).I feel that it is disturbing as well. Since IP addresses are supposed to come from a non-profit organization all prices should be equal. Why should US Sprint get a deal (not to single them out.. take any HUGE network provider) on addresses and then have ARIN stick it to smaller NSPs such as our own. It makes no sense... Not to mention you will then create 2nd level IP allocation companies. I could pay the bucks, misfile the paperwork and get a /14 or two and then resell smaller blocks for less than ARIN's prices to NSPs starving for address space. Gimme a break. Just my $.02, no flames made nor requested
