[sig-policy] Paying Market Value to ICANN for IN-ADDR.ARPA Delegations
Paying Market Value to ICANN for IN-ADDR.ARPA Delegations
=============================================
ISPs sell (lease) a "virtual product" called an IP address for $10 to $15 per month.

"add a static IP address to their service for just $15 more per month*!"
Some ISPs put many virtual web-sites on one IP address, and spread that fee over 10-15 customers.
The result is the same, an IP address block is the starting point that allows a company to lease others
cyberspace, for some monthly rental fee, just like an apartment.
ARIN and ICANN are corporations subject to U.S. laws. RIPE and APNIC may be under ARIN
as is the case with LACNIC. That can be transparent to ICANN, above ARIN.

U.S. companies must be consistent in their charging and charge rates based on market values to avoid
concerns about dumping at below cost or cross-subsidies and bartering, where certain select vendors
pay nothing or less because of insider relationships, as opposed to published, volume agreements that
are available to all customers.
Given that IP address space leasing is very similar to the Real Estate leasing business.
ARIN should get one month's revenue from an ISP on an annual basis.
ICANN should get one month's revenue from ARIN on an annual basis.

A /8 is 16,777,216 such products. At an average of $12.50 per month, that is
$209,715,200 from the ISP to ARIN each year.
ARIN can then pay ICANN $17,476,267 *each year* for EACH /8.
