conjecture on your part?

I’ve asked a lot of people, “Would you be willing to pay ARIN for RPKI services,” and the answer has always been 
“no.”  Until I get a “yes,” it’s hard to put a number (other than zero) on how the market values RPKI.  So, asking 
how much more risk ARIN is willing to take on seems a little premature.

I suspect you would get a similar answer if you asked people "Would you be willing to pay ARIN for whois services" or 
"would you be willing to pay ARIN for in-addr.arpa services".

I've always been under the impression that the fees charged annually to my orgid were in part to cover the costs 
associated with running the registry, which by definition involves a certain amount of risk.  Am I mistaken?
