Re: [apnic-talk] Calculating new APNIC fees

Nice work, Gaurab!
APNIC members can also use MyAPNIC to calculate their fees. There is a
new link under the Administration section called 'Annual membership
calculator' (only shown if the user has administration/billing privileges).
It shows the member's calculated fees based on the current resource
holding, and allows a 'what if' resource addition/substraction to see
how it will affect the fees.
It might be useful to have something similar on
http://www.apnic.net/services/become-a-member/how-much-does-it-cost
to show prospective members what the new costs will be. In a number of
cases the difference is significant. For example, someone with:
a /22 of IPv4 and a /32 of IPv6 changes from $3169 to $1994
a /19 of IPv4 and a /32 of IPv6 changes from $3169 to $4381
At the university I work at we've gone from being a holder of an IPv4
/16 under the "Historical Allocation" provisions to being a full member
so we could get an IPv6 /32.
That saw our bill rise from $100 to $6338 this year as a Medium tier
member and rising again under the new prices to $9625 next year. It's
been hard to persuade the management that this is a good thing!
