I am opposed to the policy as written. There are few to no controls on who the end user can SWIP to, which I think will either result in ISPs applying as end-users to game the system, raise the cost for end users, or both.
I assume this is trying to align the NRPM to ARIN's new fee structure which I believe is due in September?
