RE: ULA and RIR cost-recovery

I have never been a fan of the registered ULAs, and have argued against
the IETF's attempts to state specific monetary values or lifetime
practice as a directive to the RIRs; but I am equally bothered by the
thought that the operator community would feel a need to fight against
something that really doesn't impact them.

Perhaps it is because in the perception of the operator community, we do
not believe it will not impact us.  The reality is that once registered ULAs
become available, the next and obvious step will be enterprises that receive
them demanding that their providers route them.  Economic pressure will
override IETF ideal, and, operator impact is the obvious result.
