Time is money, and having a procedure that requires hours to handle to get PI is a reasonable barrier of entry to start using this global resource. Personally was inclined to apply for AS, PIv4 and PIv6, but after spending 30 minutes on the application documents, I grew tired and stopped. I'm a router guy, I don't really appreciate paperwork. I think the current state of affairs is ok, I support changing the multihomed requirement for IPv6 as per this proposal, but I still feel the situation needs to be monitored and there needs to be a yearly review regarding how many new PI applications are approved, and if it looks like a exponential growth, then it needs to be curbed somehow. Right now there are no facts to support this change growth, but I still fear there might be a change in growth rate if the rules are changed so that it becomes really easy to get PI addresses. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike at swm.pp.se
