Who exactly would these operators pay? one check per asn? Who is a backbone, etc, etc. Great fun if you are a lawyer I suppose. Really I think most of the operators are too busy building their networks to worry about how to give more money to lawyers and accountants. I believe there will be a BOF on "micro" allocations at the next Nanog meeting, I would be interesting in seeing the parties that benifit from this, to come up with a proposal that can determine fairly and with simple metrics determines who gets one. This is not exactly a new problem, the ARIN advisory council has been looking at it for 2 years, and no one has yet been able to come up with a policy that network providers, registries and end users could live with.
