[AusNOG] APNIC Slashes Costs for New Members

[Tom Berryman]

Any allocation from APNIC will also include a v6 block and hopefully grow the demand for v6 transit and support.
It also means that more organisations can get a v6 allocation and not just take whatever their ISP throws at them- makes changing ISP in v6 land much easier.

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).

Is it actually that easy to get an allocation now for smaller companies? I was under the impression you still needed to justify 75% use within 6 months or something, and that it was actually scrutinized. I'm not sure if it is even a valid point now that the final allocation policy is active.

How stupid... This is now going to now get more and more people that don't need ip's applying for a large allocation which they won't use.....

Maybe there is something I am missing but to me this sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Hey everyone,

APNIC has slashed the "IP Resource Allocation Fee" from AU$3500 (ex-GST) to AU$1750 (ex-GST).

This means a new member can sign-up and get access to IP resources of up to a /22 of IPv4, IPv6 space and AS numbers.

The cost of becoming a new member (with resources) is now:

AU$2425 (ex-GST for Australians)

which is: AU$675 (ex-GST) + AU$1750 (ex-GST).

Please see the official announcement here:  http://www.apnic.net/publications/news/2013/ip-resource-application-fee-reduction
