Two questions come to mind with this: One: How will portable/non-portable address space be effected. Does the mean that if I have non-portable address space, I can charge customers for address space, and if it is portable, they have to pay $2500 per /24 to have it registered to them? Two: If an entity has address space already and does not require more space, do they have to pay the fee or is this going to be grandfather claused? I know with domain names it was not that way, but that is only 50 bucks, $2500 or more could put a lot of business off the net. I guess this will make the routing table size come to a sudden and screaching halt!
