[AusNOG] APNIC Slashes Costs for New Members

[Skeeve Stevens]

I don't see any issue.  I see this as a good thing really.

If ISPs get corporate customers coming to them who want significant space
(justified obviously), like a /25 or so... you just send them to APNIC to
get their own.

You can always announce the ranges for them if they can't do BGP.

I see this as an excellent way of doing things, and something we've been
advising our customers to do for a long time now.  The only thing which has
changed is that it is now a lot cheaper.
