[members-discuss] New Charging Scheme

Hello,

There are no doubts the future belongs to IPV6. But if we have no good 
scheme to control resource usage, what guarantee us 10-15 years after 
full ipv6 deploy we will be in same situation as now. Even the fact IPV6 
have 65535^8 addresses if these resources are spilled unuzed and not 
optimized will over again. What better control mechanism could be than 
money ?

To be realistic I cant imagine how in next 10 years IPV6 will be fully 
deployed and will full substitute IPV4 from technical point of view. No 
matter what penalize or encouragement to LIRs will have to use IPV6, 
there are huge number of internet services that cant be easyly migrated. 
The migration will happen naturaly when there are no other options, 
pushing it will make only difficulties to Internet users and providers 
(all of us).

For me IP market is one big crap. Internet Resources must go where they 
are needed, not to sit locked and unused, because somebody want to earn 
easy money from this (speculators to go on exchanges here are no room for 
them). RIPE must take back all these nets which sits on the market, 
because obviously they are free and not used.

I am pretty sure there are big number of unoptimize resources LIRs hold. 
How many from you try to use 90% + from your resources I bet the number 
can fit in 12bits. But if have to pay for something not use, that number 
will grow a lot. And next time when your bussiness step up, you will have 
from where to get needed resources.


My opinion about charging scheme change for 2019 is positive. If your 
bussiness dont allow to pay 1400 euro in once, then you should not be LIR. 
There are and other options for you. With the scheme change maybe some
smaller speculants that try to rent/sell resources only will gone.
