I've thought about trying to get a small range of IPv6 address recently,
so last night I looked around on the ARIN website and I called their
offices today to confirm. For an end user like most of us (not even a
small ISP), the charge for the smallest range is a $2500 set up fee, and
$100 per year subscription fee. If there are ~1500 IPv6 addresses per
square foot of the earth, how can they charge so much?!? I could
understand if there was a small registration fee, but this is just
crazy. Maybe if they want people to adopt IPv6 they should make it
affordable.

Sorry about the rant.
