[ncc-services-wg] Re: [members-discuss] New Charging Scheme

I strongly agree that there is no logic in charging larger operators  less per IP than smaller operators. To do so would be an incentive for operators to hog more IPs, not fewer. If there is to be a charge (which I do not support) then it should be a flat rate.

Hi all,

I disagree with this approach for two reasons:

1) the IPv4 resource is a scarse resourse therefore, the more you request/use the MORE you pay (and not the LESS you pay). So I support the following approach: /8=0.490 and /22=0.002

2) if the big operators have no economical incentive to adopt IPv6 (see point 1) we will still be working ONLY in IPv4 for the years to come.

I really do not see any reason why a big operator (=big money) should pay less than a small operator.

My concern is that:

a) the fact that IPv4 is going to be exausted in the near future will make a commercial discrimination between who can give IPv4 addresses to customers and who cannot, we need a quick adoption of IPv6 from the big operators.

b) malicious big operators do not want to implement IPv6 because the allocation of Ipv4 makes them stronger than newcomers (who will have NEW
IPv4 addresses in 2014?)

Just my 2 euro cents.
