[AusNOG] APNIC Slashes Costs for New Members

[Skeeve Stevens]

Cool... come with me to Xi'an.

But, to be honest.  First join APNIC-Policy mailing list, and float the
idea and see what people think.

Your view is actually very narrow, western minded.  What about the billion
users in India.  Billion in China.  Businesses desperate for IP address
space, that the $4k was a massive struggle?

A /22 isn't much, but it can be a lot to a small enterprise with an
innovative product trying to get online and be multi-homed.
