Proposed charging up to $20,000 for IP addresses - more unsubstantiated
rumor?

For the sake of discussion, this is the following fee structure
that has been proposed by ARIN (see the ARIN proposal page at
http://www.arin.net/arin_proposal.html):
Small $2500/year /24 - /19
Medium $5000/year >/19 - /16
Large $10K/year >/16 - /14
X-Large $20K/year >/14
Fees are based on your total allocation for the previous year,
plus another $1,000 per year to maintain membership in ARIN.
It is safe to say that any ISP able to receive address blocks
falls somewhere between Medium and X-Large on this chart.

IANA Statement on ARIN (1/14/97)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Internet Assigned Nunbers Authority (IANA) views the move by Network
Solutions to promote the creation of the American Registry for Internet
Numbers (ARIN) as a non-profit, self-supporting, independent operation as a
very positive step and fully supports the general concept.
