If the effort that will go into administering this went instead into reclaiming IPv4 space that's obviously hijacked and/or being used by abusive operations, we'd all benefit.
But they can't do that without impacting revenue. In order to continue charging fees that are wholly out of proportion to their cost ARIN must: A) ignore all the unneeded legacy /16 allocations, even those owned by organizations with fewer than 300 employees (like net.com) who could easily get by with a /24 B) do nothing while IPv6 languishes due to the absence of a standard for one-to-many NAT and NAPT for v6 and v4/v6 C) periodically raise fees and implement minimal measures like requiring someone to sign a statement of need, so they can at least appear to have been proactive when the impacts of this artificial shortage really begin to impact communications Bottom line: it's about the money. Money and short-term self-interest, same as is causing havoc in other sectors of the economy. Nothing new here. IMO, Roger Marquis
