I contacted ARIN, and got a very prompt answer - Note that I did ask David before sending his answer to this list:

How would you qualify for an extra-small block and be eligible for the fee waiver? See, the fee waiver is for ISPs. ISPs get, by default, a /32, which is a SMALL on the fee schedule, and costs a $2,250.00 registration fee, which is 90% waived in 2008 for those who have to pay for it (so $225.00). In 2009, a /32 under the current waiver will cost $562.50. If you are an end-user, and you qualify for a /48 (or other extra-small block), there is no fee waiver, and it's $1,250.00 one time, and a $100 each year to renew. (http://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six58) I hope that makes sense :) > Once my ISP do provides ipv6, will they be able to just route my block, or > will I have to get rid of my block and use one that they provide to me ? You would have to discuss that with the engineering group of your ISP. In theory, BGP principles still apply - you originate a route to your BGP neighbors, which they could accept and propagate to their neighbors. > My understanding is that RIPE forces ISPs to give at minimum a /64 block to > all their customers. Does ARIN have such policies ? What is the minimum > block size an ISP is to provide to their customer ? ARIN policy leaves it to the discretion of the provider. Guidelines are published, found at: http://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six54 If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to reply to this e-mail or contact me directly.
