[AusNOG] APNIC Slashes Costs for New Members

[Skeeve Stevens]

It still has to be justified... but it isn't exactly that hard these days.

Portability is the number one justification in my opinion.  Usage is
second.  And you don't have to justify the usage I believe if you have a
genuine need for portability (peering, multiple ISPs, etc).
