block) on top of membership fees of $500/yr, so
that's $750/yr to get a /48 from the North
American RIR (which is the only one I'm looking
at today given that the context is the nanog
list). Additionally, tunnel providers can and
have shut down permanently at random - SixXS
was among the largest providers, and they shut
down operations entirely last year. So any
folks using space from them had to renumber,
either on to another tunnel provider's space,
or to ULA. Re-numbering has associated costs,
which in the case we're pointing to here,
could've been saved had they deployed on ULA space instead.

You donât need an allocation. Get an assignment.

Petition the RIR's (and IETF?) to set up a HE
like service for 'micro'
end-users? Self-registration and $4.99/year gets
you a pseudo-GUA /48 to keep forever but
currently understood as not accepted by your ISP.
Some day maybe there will be an efficient way to provide global reachability.
