How are you making up loss of revenue on IPv4 assignments? If revenue from IPv4 assignments is an issue, then the solution is to adjust your business model to not depend on that revenue.

The cost of IPv6 is so negligible (well unless you need advanced software licenses -- hi brocade), that I don't see any point in even accounting the cost of providing IPv6 into a service fee. > 4. Do you assign IPv6 space to end user and charge admin fee? By assign, do you mean SWIP? Some places charge an admin fee to do a SWIP, but for setting up an allocation, I have never heard of an admin fee. William
