INTERNIC charging for address space?

Has anyone heard if the INTERNIC was going to charge for address space.

If so, how much and when would it be starting?

Has been in the works for well over a year.

And they won't be charging for address space per se, see the website
for details.

As others have mentioned, you should refer to www.arin.net for
specifics on North American allocation changes. By this time,
organizations expecting to request blocks of address space in
the near future should be in the process of joining ARIN and
subscribing to the appropriate level of registration services.

Yes, I've heard, and the answers are:

The Internic will not be charging for address space.

The Internic will no longer be dealing with IP address space at all in the
very near future as ARIN takes over those duties.

ARIN will not be charging for IP address space.

ARIN will be charging various membership fees and fees for service. Read
the details at http://www.arin.net If you still don't understand that ARIN
is not selling IP addresses then read the *ENTIRE* archives of the NAIPR
mailing list also at the above website.

If you are in Phoenix later this month then you will get a progress report
on ARIN amongst other edifying educational activities.
