Analysis
While all other fees remain the same, ARIN has introduced a new fee that will take effect at the beginning of next year. This is a transfer processing fee that needs to be paid by the transfer recipient. It is important to understand why ARIN is imposing the new fee. ARIN’s Board of Directors believes that fair fees must be recovered for all services provided to customers. When IPv4 NRPM 8.3/8.4 transfers occur, the fees charged by ARIN do not fully cover the risks and efforts involved in the transaction. It is therefore decided that a fee must be charged to the receiving party in order to properly cover the risks and efforts behind each transaction. Transaction processing fees will be levied in a fair manner. The fees to be paid are different for all customers. It will be proportional to the IPv4 aggregate block size. When the transfer transaction occurs and is approved, the Recipient shall pay the Recipient transfer processing fee. It must be noted that costs are paid before resources are allocated.
