Press Release from the GSM Association & The RIPE NCC

[Apologies for duplicate mails] GSM ASSOCIATION & THE RIPE NCC, THE EUROPEAN REGIONAL INTERNET REGISTRY CLARIFY IP ADDRESSING FOR GPRS INFRASTRUCTURE The GSM Association and the RIPE NCC (Rï¿½seaux IP Europï¿½ens Network Coordination Centre), the European Regional Internet Registry have jointly agreed to the process to enable GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) roaming services to be supported by operators globally. The GSM Association entered into discussions with the RIPE NCC earlier this year initiated by a proposal for infrastructure addresses to support GPRS roaming. The proposal was initially greeted with uncertainty within the RIPE community due to concerns over the amount of addresses requested - although as a result of subsequent meetings and clarification of existing address policies the GSM Association's proposal was modified and issues of concern have been addressed and resolved. A key result of the discussion is that a task force - the GPRS Infrastructure IP Addressing Working Party - was formed with expertise from the IP/ISP community, the GSM/GPRS community and the RIPE NCC and already a constructive meeting of task force members has taken place. At this meeting the GSM Association's members clarified their needs, ISPs raised their concerns and the RIPE NCC clarified its existing IP address allocation policies and procedures. The results of the task force meeting were presented to the overall RIPE community during its recent meeting and the principal results were as follows: ï¿½ Public IPv4 address space can be used in parts of the GPRS network infrastructure ï¿½ Existing IP address allocation policies and procedures apply ï¿½ Requests from mobile network operators can be sent directly to the RIPE NCC or their data network backbone providers These processes will be communicated to the global addressing community by the RIPE NCC for review by the other Regional Internet Registries and their respective constituencies. The GSM Association's IREG (International Roaming Experts Group) has initiated discussions with the RIPE NCC to clarify the existing process for obtaining these IP addresses. The RIPE NCC has already received IP address requests from GPRS operators as a result. Address requirements for mobile devices are still not finalised and work continues on determining the needs of GPRS terminals and third generation mobile systems. The results of the GPRS Task Force meeting can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/lir/gprs/ For more information, please contact: Mark Smith Paul Rendek Director of Communications Communications Manager The GSM Association RIPE NCC Tel: +44 207 659 0430 Tel: +31 20 535 4444 Fax: +44 207 659 0431 Fax +31 20 535 4445 Email: msmith(a)gsm.org Email: rendek(a)ripe.net VISIT THE HOME OF GSM ON THE WEB - HTTP://WWW.GSMWORLD.COM Notes for Editors: About the GSM Association: The GSM Association is the world's leading wireless industry representative body, consisting of more than 450 second and third Generation network operators, satellite operators, key manufacturers & suppliers to the GSM industry, regulators and administrative bodies. Membership of the Association spans 150 countries and areas of the world. The GSM Association is responsible for the development, deployment and evolution of the GSM system for digital wireless communications and for the promotion of the GSM platform. The Association's members provide digital GSM wireless services to more than 330 million* customers (end-June 2000) across five continents of the world. The GSM system accounts for approximately 55 percent of the world's wireless market, and 66 percent of the total digital wireless market. About RIPE NCC (RIPE Network Coordination Centre): The RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) is one of 3 Regional Internet Registries (RIR) providing IP address allocation and registration services which support the operation of the Internet globally. The RIPE NCC performs activities for the benefit of its membership; primarily activities that its members need to organise as a group, even though they may compete in other areas. The membership is primarily comprised of Internet Service Providers (ISP) and its service region incorporates Europe, The Middle East, Central Asia and African countries located north of the equator. The services provided ensure the fair distribution of global Internet resources in the RIPE NCC service region required for the stable and reliable operation of the Internet. This includes the allocation of Internet (IP) address space, interdomain routing identifiers (currently BGP autonomous system numbers), and the management of reverse domain name space (currently in-addr.arpa and ip6.int) The RIPE NCC also provides services for the benefit of the Internet community at large including the development and maintenance of the RIPE Database, administrative support for the RIPE community, and the development and co-ordination of new projects. The RIPE NCC currently supports over 2000 Local Internet Registries (LIRs) who collectively form the RIPE NCC membership. Membership is open to anyone using the RIPE NCC services. Visit: http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/about/ About RIPE (Rï¿½seaux IP Europï¿½ens): RIPE (Rï¿½seaux IP Europï¿½ens) is a collaborative organisation open to organisations and individuals, operating wide area IP networks in Europe and beyond. The objective of RIPE is to ensure the administrative and technical co-ordination necessary to enable operation of a pan-European IP network. RIPE does not operate a network of its own. Currently, more than 1000 organisations participate in the work. The result of the RIPE co-ordination effort is that an individual end-user is presented with a uniform IP service on his or her desktop irrespective of the particular network his or her workstation is attached to. In November 1999, nearly 10,000,000 hosts were reachable via networks co-ordinated by RIPE. RIPE has no formal membership and its activities are performed on a voluntary basis, except the activities performed by the RIPE NCC. Most of the work happens inside several Working Groups. Each of these working groups has a mailing list where relevant topics and questions can be discussed. RIPE Working Groups meet 3 times a year during RIPE meetings.

There's always a risk in making predictions (especially about the future), but at this rate we'll have as many SOAs as hosts in Europe this time next year; in other words, we'll have reached the milestone of an average of one host per domain.

RIPE Region Hostcount for June 2000
by RIPE Hostcount Maintainer 14 Jul '00

14 Jul '00

Dear All, below is the hostcount for June 2000. The table shows a very slight decrease to a total of around 11,390,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The at domain shows the highest increase for June with approximately 90,000 hosts more than in May. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - - the January data had to be reused for uk due to problems in the last months with co.uk. - bj had to be removed from the count this month, due to all top level servers denying zone transfers to the collecting machine. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Edgar D Danielyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg Network Operator es Susana Gayo.

RIPE Region Hostcount for May 2000
by RIPE Hostcount Maintainer 19 Jun '00

19 Jun '00

Dear All, below is the hostcount for May 2000. The table shows an increase since last month of over 210,000 (or 1.9%) to a total of almost 11,400,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The ru domain shows the highest increase for May with approximately 200,000 hosts more than in April. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - - the January data had to be resused for uk due to problems for the last four months with co.uk. - the April data had to be reused for ch due to hardware problems at the remote collector. - iq and lu had to be removed from the count this month, due to all top level servers denying zone transfers to the collecting machine. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Edgar D Danielyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg Network Operator es Susana Gayo.

ISP fee?
by Koen Breugelmans 21 May '00

21 May '00

Hello, I hope this is the right list for my question, otherwise please sent me a notice. I contacted my ISP (=Online in Belgium) for 4 IP addresses. Some months ago we got one fixed IP, but we need some more now. The 'commercial manager' of my ISP responded that I have to pay 3000Bfr/year (this is approx. 80$/year) for one IP. It already sounded very weird to me that they charged that fee for non-commercial groups like us, so I wondered if this is 1) legally 2) too much 3) fraud I can totally agree if they ask a one-time setup (registration cost) and perhaps some little annual costs, but this is just too much for us IMHO. Another thing I'd like to ask about: Everytime I want to order some new IP-addresses, my ISP says that they'll also have to change my old fixed IP's into new ones. Is this just a normal procedure, or is this some kind of backdoor to fraud? How can I check that my ISP registered those IP's under my name and contact, and not under their's?
