Re: [address-policy-wg] 2006-05 New Policy Proposal (PI Assignment Size)

* Max Tulyev:

Second, "PI vs LIR" deal. If one real wants own IP/AS, and ready to pay for it, this one WILL add a prefix to the global routing table, either he become a LIR or only get PI. BUT. If costs are equal, EVERY manager (who make final decision for what to pay) will take MORE "something" (IP addresses in this case) for same (or near) price.

Reality check, please. Market prices for PI space (excluding router setup etc.) are quite close to LIR setup fees.
