For us having this address space from APNIC pushes us into the next tier of membership and costs us an additional US$2500 a year. We have had a very serious discussion here about returning this to APNIC and getting a reduction in our charges.

We recently got our first allocation from APNIC, and I was surprised that we had to choose 4 or 6 and had to pay more for both - as Andy says, are we being encouraged to do this or not? We are still small, so the additional cost is prohibitive. I would have thought there would be an associated IP6 allocation with every IP4 allocation, but I guess I was naive. Gerard
