“All that said, I couldn’t find any justification for the increase from $1,000 to $10,000. If there is justification or other details regarding the increase, I’d appreciate a pointer to them.” Hi David, Reading the new contract it’s clear that ARIN’s intention here is to avoid any

I see no value in IPv4 brokers. If you don't want to pay those fees, you're more than welcome to return unused IPv4 space to the ARIN pool. The entire community would appreciate it. On Thu, Jun 1, 2023 at 7:52 PM Michael B. Williams via ARIN-PPML < arin-ppml@arin.net> wrote: > Fees for IP

Let’s be honest; the original $100 was just a number thrown out because ARIN knew it had to charge something but didn’t have a good idea what the real costs would be. The $1,000 number seems very reasonable to me, maybe even low. At $10,000, I have a small amount of sympathy for an argument that

We have to live in the real world and business is what has driven the Internet up to this point, and businesses including IP Brokers will help drive it into the future. No businesses then the internet is just an educational platform. My 2 cents. Sent from my iPhone On Jun 1, 2023, at 9:23 PM,

Actually in the phone number space, there are LARGE blocks of numbers that cannot easily be returned because of legacy issues. The legacy technology is pagers, which ironically I still use to alert me to network outages by automatic means. Texting cannot be used to alert to internet failures,

Removing the program, with its criteria and fees, would not stop the practice. I will be the first to admit that, when I was on the ARIN board, I was completely against commercial brokerage of IP addresses, as a matter of principle. I believed that IP addresses, when no longer needed, should
