Presumably ARIN could be convinced to waive the one-time initial allocation fee in this case since the initial allocation happened years ago. Then, having joined the club that 99% of us belong to, they won't have any problems with using newer services like BGP cert signing. The problem is *because* they are not ISP and don't have a clue they'll use a lot of ARINs services. "Why doesn't this work, how do I do that..." RIPE started requiring the x-ncc-regid thing in email partly because of the newbie and clueless crowd. -- Andre
