[HamWAN PSDR] Holy smokes, we have Internet address space!

[Bart Kus]

Clever ;)

What if HamWAN switches ISPs?  All that IPv6 space would need to be 
given up.  It can't follow you AFAIK.  Or the ISP may charge whatever 
they feel like to let you take it with you.  Also bad.

The fees for IPv6 are not as low as I had hoped, but not as high as you 
think either!  There's a 25% discount in effect for "extra-small" 
allocations (which are still larger than the entire IPv4 internet).  The 
cost looks to be $937.50/yr.  Not sure it's worth the cost, given the 
IPv4 AMPRnet situation.  We can very likely just expand our AMPRnet 
allocation if we out-grow the /20.
