Remember, RIPE is not a regulator, or a commercial entity. It is a not for profit organisation owned by its members, us. It can only raise the funds that are required to fund its operations plus a small amount for reserves. It is not in a position to make pious judgements on who are the “Good Guys” or operate punitive pricing schemes, that is simply not RIPE’s mandate.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Simon<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> Simon Talbot Chief Engineer Net Solutions Europe<o:p></o:p> T: 020 3161 6001<o:p></o:p> F: 020 3161 6011<o:p></o:p> <a href="http://www.nse.co.uk/">www.nse.co.uk</a><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm"> From: members-discuss-bounces@ripe.net [mailto:members-discuss-bounces@ripe.net] On Behalf Of LeaderTelecom Ltd.

More simple way - price for IPv4 will grow extremly fast during this and next year. When price for IPv4 will be more than price of migration to IPv6 - many operators will switch from IPv4 to IPv6. After that cost of IPv4 will goes down very fast. It will be second "Tulip fever". -- Alexey Ivanov General Director LeaderTelecom Ltd<o:p></o:p> <div> <div> <div> -- При ответе сохраняйте [Ticket#2012021401001516] в теме письма. -- <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> С уважением,<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Алексей Иванов <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Генеральный директор ООО "ЛидерТелеком"<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Тел.: 8(495)778-98-51 <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> URL: <a href="http://www.InstantSSL.su/" target="_blank">http://www.InstantSSL.su/</a> - SSL-сертификаты Comodo URL: <a href="http://verisign.su/" target="_blank">http://verisign.su/</a> - SSL-сертификаты Verisign<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> URL: <a href="http://www.HostingConsult.ru/" target="_blank" title="http://www.HostingConsult.ru/"> http://www.HostingConsult.ru/</a> - Лицензии связи, IP-адреса и AS<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </div> 14.02.2012 15:09 - Ben Fitzgerald-O'Connor написал(а):<o:p></o:p> <div style="border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 4.0pt"> <div> Hi All, IMHO, Smaller ISP’s can take the initiative with the move to IPV6 perhaps – we all need to build momentum and start to deploy IPV6 in a big way, and to put in place 6to4 gateways and other such infrastructure to allow clients connected on IPV6 to access the whole Internet. In many ways smaller ISPs have an advantage over the big ISPs who will have huge amounts of work to do in moving from 4 to 6. In marketing we all also need to stop worrying about running out of IPV4 addresses and start to plan and put in IPV6 addresses. Clients should want to move to IPV6 – once moved across, then this work is done for the next 20 years or so. It has to be done, so we may as well get going and promote IPV6 as the ‘New Internet’ which it is. New networks should start on IPV6 – this way they can be ahead of the curve from the start and have a little pain now in learning new ways of doing things but they save a lot of work later by doing this. IPV4 addresses are worth a lot now but in time they will be obsolete as IPV6 becomes mainstream and we all need to work to make that happen. Replacing old IPV4 only equipment with new equipment that supports IPV6 fully is a great sales opportunity. We need to grasp the nettle and move ahead on this.

As a simple argument, we have an ISP in Turkey which even their license is taken back and they have 100K times more IP addresses then we have and nobody is asking tem to give the IP addresses back and they are keeping the IP4 block as the fee they pay for membership is not important then the IP4 block they are keeping in hand.
