Quoth Ulf Zimmermann on Tue, 8 October: : Regardless of the speed to my uplink provider, they want to charge : $100/month per class C network. That would be more than reasonable in the current market where I live. : Or for routing of a /19 CIDR block : they want $4000/month for it plus the charge for the IP providing. : What do you think of this ? I think that if you send me their domain, I'll filter all their traffic. Routing must be free to everyone, or there is no Internet and we can all go home. Soon I expect to see virtualization ISPs start up, which will provide tunnel routes through hostile providers such as you describe, thus decoupling the address space provision from uplink provision.
