From: David Conrad <davidc () apnic net> there will be a cost associated with requesting address space: US $10,000/year for Large ISPs ... US $2,500/year for Small ISPs ...
The category is self-determined by the organization.
Everyone's going to classify themselves as the smallest, then... Such an approach is perhaps not as clean as charging for IP address space directly, but it does seem to be a reasonable compromise given political and theological constraints. ... Note that you should stress charging for registration services as opposed to charing for address space. The latter is a political minefield that will simply muddy the waters. If you vary your charge based on the size of the organization, how do you justify that in terms of what it takes you in internal resources? Surely a registration of a small ISP takes as much time/etc as a large one? I understand your hesitancy about the "charging for addresses" issue, but trying to effectively charge for addresses based on something nebulous like a varying registration fee based on organization size just isn't going to pass the "quack" test. People will see right through it... Heck, I don't mind charging for addresses, they are a limited resource. Use the money to fund IETF work. Noel
