I'm not claiming that ARIN is perfect and that it will instantly solve all
problems. But I do believe that it will be far more responsive to the
industry than the Internic could be. And if enough ISP's join ARIN and
come up with a better funding/pricing scheme then I believe it *CAN*
be implemented. The fundamental feature of ARIN is that it will be
responsive to the needs of those organizations who use IP address space.
It's just a first step in the right direction, not the ultimate goal.
