->Nonetheless, with IPv6, I naively hoped, until last night, the

->fees. Big duh!
ARIN ..still needs to delegate/admin the space.. costs will be incured.

->If we look at today's marketing hype and think forward a bit
->there is a
->thrust to "Internet enable" appliances, such as dryers, ovens, and
->stereos. Assuming ARIN fees persist, my first philosophical
->question is
->whether any consumer of these appliances MUST periodically
->(e.g., monthly)
->drop coins in the ARIN fountain?
what does the appliance have to do with a /32 or /28 ??
->Imagine for a moment the effect of a fee against the
->allocation or use of
->port 80 or 443, maybe even port 25 or 53.
Does IANA charge for port assignment numbers ??
