Michael - Actually, this particular risk factor was addressed several years ago in the revised pricing table - service providers pay based on their size category, and the category is set based on the larger of IPv4 or IPv6 size category. (There is a small risk of ending up a slightly smaller revenue model if the the categories shift down as a result of IPv4 returns, but one would expect that to correspond with a similar reduction in workload for IPv6-only world) FYI, /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
