If you need to get a /24 from the registry, you need to pay the price. If you just want a /24, get one from your upstream. If they have a /17, the cost per /24 drops down _quite_ a bit; $7500/128 = ~$60 for a one-time fee. Generally speaking, right now you can not get a /24 from the InterNIC and have everyone listen to your advertisment so this really doesn't change that much for the small guy. I think it will, however, cause a good number of people with legacy class Cs allocated a long time ago to renumber into provider assigned space to reduce their costs. I have some big concerns about some of the details; with some things I don't like what I see (there seems to be more behind the ideas than what is being stated; that "hidden agenda" of sorts isn't a bad one, but I think it is hidden and that is bad), others there simply needs to be more details on, however I don't think that the overall plan is as bad as you make it out to be. I think further discussion should really go to the naipr list that Kim mentioned; some of the issues aren't clear, the details aren't finalized yet and there is a potential for a lot of useless bickering.

While I admit it is not completely clear reading the proposal outlined on the web page at http://rs.internic.net/arin, charging $2,500 for a /24 will *kill* the small business market, and the ISPs that exist to service that market. Most of the associations and small businesses we deal with choke when thay have to pay $750 for a router to handle their dedicated Internet connection. Added to the fact that the LECs want to charge per minute charges for POTS lines used for dedicated dial-up, a $2,500 IP address charge will guarantee that the small business portion of the market will disappear. We all depend on the net for a living folks -- I don't think we should consider any proposal that would have a negative effect on our own industry.
