McTim - what then are you suggesting? .. to never have PI IPv6 in the AfriNIC region?
I believe that some organisations truly need PI IPv6 address space. I don't think its down to us to discuss pricing - but I'd have to agree with you - if the price was high enough only those that really need would apply - as long as its world route-able (thus filling up routing tables around the world). >From a "Routing Table" point of view - this is one reason why I liked the idea of providing back-to-back /48 allocations for the likes of IXP's - addresses that would not need to be routed around the world... separate from organisations that really do need world route-able addresses. The folk at AfriNIC can allocate addresses from appropriate blocks according to the needs of the clients - they could even have a two tier price - low price for world-non-routable, high price for world-routable. In the mean time.... a) We still need a PI IPv6 policy though. b) The "routing table" problem will be solved - the AfriNIC negative (as in growth of the table size) contribution will be negligible.
