That section applies only to _allocations_, which are what ISPs get. The maintenance fee for _assignments_, which is what end users orgs get, has always been $100/yr. No waiver is necessary, and AFAIK the BoT has made never made any noises about increasing the assignment maintenance fee. And, really, even if the fee for your /48 (X-small category) assignment maintenance fee went up to $1250/yr to match the current allocation maintenance fee table, would that really be "significant" in the grand scheme of things?
