RE: [lir-wg] Re: 50% increase in RIPE fees ? Since when ?

note to self: I'll probably regret having a word wih this troll, but I'll take the chances. :) Jim, WHAT makes you think that RIPE NCC pays for addresses? WHOM do you think they pay to? Please don't even mention IPv8/IPv16 this time, they are not in the question so I expect an answer clean of those two.

Given that 32-bit IP addresses lease(rent) for $10 to $15 per month... ...and given that Real Estate brokers generally take one month's rent per year as a fee... ....the market value for a /8 would be approximately $168,000,000 per year...
How much does RIPE pay (wholesale) for a /8 ? http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space 082/8 Nov 02 RIPE NCC (whois.ripe.net) ===

WHOM do you think they pay to? http://lacnic.net/en/transition.html "On 2 September 2002, customers in the emerging LACNIC region will begin to receive invoices from LACNIC. Monies will be payable in US dollars. All monies collected by LACNIC will be transferred to ARIN. ARIN in turn will return a portion of those monies to LACNIC to help sustain LACNIC operations. Upon final recognition, the transfer of monies will cease. The target date for the cessation of money transfer is 18 November 2002."
