As a data point, there are currently 866* x-small IPv4 ISP organizations =
in the ARIN region.
There are a total of 3,562* ISP organizations in the ARIN region =
(including IPv4 and IPv6).
x-small IPv4 providers as such, constitute about 1/4 of the total ARIN =
ISP constituency.
The maximum revenue impact of an IPv6 waiver for them (removing the =
$1,000 surcharge
for IPv6 /32 pricing) would be $833,000 per year, increasing as the =
number of organizations
affected by the waiver increased.
This information is provided strictly as a data point and not in the =
interests of pushing
the discussion in either direction.

*The data I used to produce these numbers comes from ARIN staff and is =
current as of
earlier April 29, 2010. ARIN will be publishing the data to their =
statistics page in the next few
days. Please don't blame staff for the publication delay. I asked for =
the numbers late
last night and they have been extremely responsive in getting the data =
to me and have
taken the additional initiative to publish it as quickly as they can =
within their process.
