How would an AS number be funded? In direct answer to that I thought I saw one of the previous commenter volunteer to put that up themselves (at least the initial fee) but bthe broader question is really how AMPRnet as a whole ought be funded on a continuing basis. Has anyone worked out and determined what the annual operating costs are estimated to be (peering, transit, colocation, ARIN fees, core hardware upkeep & maintenance, etc. ). The reality is that it costs something to keep infrastructure running. How is that paid for? Maybe those who have address sapace assigned ought to chip in something like $5-10 for the processing of the assignment & somewhere between say $0.10-1.00/address assigned per year possibly with some consideration given toward larger allocations that actually built out useful projects that served to expand and further AMPRnet goals.

As mentioned before, we would need a new AS number from ARIN.
