And at 50EUR per year, heck, I'd PI my home connection in a blink. Why wouldn't anyone?
Well, it's a bit more to it than just the 50 EUR - as of today, most cheap end user DSL connections will not route arbitrary PI networks for customers, but instead will insist on automatic assignment of addresses (coming from a block aggregated by the ISP, whatever you call it) to the end users. So you need a "business connection" and that will be more than 50 EUR/year. Of course one of the big Telcos might decide that this is *the* product to compensate for loss of customers due to <whatever excuse>, but I seriously don't really see it happen any time soon, not for the large masses of end customers. We'll have some "PI" in the global table, of course. But please look at Alex Le Heux' numbers that will be presented on Thursday morning (about 10:00) on what makes up the bulk of the current IPv4 routing table - and you might be surprised. Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- did you enable IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v. Bomhard Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Aufsichtsratsvors.: A.
