As a small ISP we don’t have enough addresses to cover all of our customers, let alone our own infrastructure as well. Prices from brokers are in the region of EUR12 per IP, which is simply not possible to justify for a small company. The problems of not having enough addresses means relying on CGNAT to get customers connected, and all the issues that come with it. Not such a problem for mobile providers, but providers of fixed-line broadband have a much harder time with this technology.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Sure IPv6 is the solution, but until we’re past the threshold where the majority of content is IPv6 enabled we still have to supply public IPv4 addresses to all customers in some form.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I’d like to see governments selling its stock of unused addresses to local business that can prove a need at an affordable price. Everyone wants to sell their IPs to fund their own IPv6 rollouts. Great, so the little guys have to spend their cash on extortionate IPv4 prices just to keep up, stalling or preventing their own IPv6 rollouts, while the bigger players get their rollouts partially funded. If businesses can show they’re planning to or currently rolling out IPv6, they should have fairer access to IPv4 resources while they continue those plans. I think the RIRs need to step in and help here.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <div> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> members-discuss <members-discuss-bounces@ripe.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Adrian Bolster<br> <b>Sent:</b> 02 May 2018 09:46<br> <b>To:</b> William <william@william.si>; Thomas Gallo - Nice Blue srl <thomas@niceblue.it><br> <b>Cc:</b> members-discuss@ripe.net<br> <b>Subject:</b> Re: [members-discuss] Multiple LIR account mergers<o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> </div> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The current rules are a good middle ground, however, as a relatively new ISP we can only access one /22 per LIR.
