BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: LACNIC does something similar, but LACNIC headquarters is also ~8 km away from chair for some awful reason.

BingoBoingo: Anyways from an architecture point of view one big weakness of LACNIC countries (and Asia it seems as well) is IP poverty. For all the disadvantages of North America, it has IP space to spare.

BingoBoingo: http://archive.is/3nQJt << Argentina is fatwah'd and even more isolated than Uruguay from an internet perspective, but here's what they offer for 2U 10mbps burstable symmetric (LACNIC so IP address poor). If Gbps can reasonable be had in Baltimore...

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Have you looked at the LACNIC IP allotment application and requirements yet?

BingoBoingo: The LACNIC fee schedule is here http://www.lacnic.net/2399/2/lacnic/membership-categories-and-fees

BingoBoingo: Will keep reading documentation. But heres the source of the IP allocation wank for the coprophologists http://www.lacnic.net/1039/2/lacnic/ipv4-depletion-phases

BingoBoingo voy a dormir. All ideas for filling ipv4 space are appreciated. And no, Lacnic has already declared making a bunch of http sites each sitting on its own ip insufficient to declare space exhausted when http vhost can be done.

BingoBoingo: We have a /26 to fill in very.legit.manner and short order before LACNIC will assign a /24 because of scarcity. LACNIC's response to my first application: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/xW6LS/?raw=true

BingoBoingo: getting some from them and then resubmitting my application to LACNIC. Gotta utilize 64 ip addresses before LACNIC will allocate a /24

BingoBoingo: trinque: As far as the racks themselves. Ready within 72 hours of signing a contract and paying for them, but IP address block from LACNIC will take 2 weeks from application to allocation.

BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-24#1742943 << Qntra will be online when ISP is. Arrive in Montevideo Dec 6th, interview lawyers for corp, apply for IP address block, and meet people while waiting for LACNIC... ??? ISP ☝︎

BingoBoingo: Also lead time from application to LACNIC IP address assignment is ~2 weeks

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> may take some finagleing, usg.dns decided to be a bitch about ips so as to force ipv6 uptake. << Either way LACNIC is cheaper/(less competition for space) than APNIC

BingoBoingo: trinque: To be determined. Datacenter wants me to get IPs through LACNIC, will assist in the application process, but not guaranteeing anything

BingoBoingo: I am glad to offer: 6283 (or 5150, unclear yet if VAT'd) off the shelf SA corp including lawyer, notary, and accountant fees, 1500 to set up the rack, 600 to LACNIC as a nano size ISP for IP allotment, 5335 for first month's rack rent, 341 for fiscal address and space with lock 24/7 access to coffee pot, 1200 budgeted to switch and router (actual likely closer to half that), 3200 putting Bingo in Montevideo (actual likely less budgeting

BingoBoingo: amoratizing fixed costs (corporation, LACNIC IP address assignment) over 24 months rather than 12 offers little reduction in cost basis ☟︎

BingoBoingo: In other news, Uruguay datacenter is offering to help petition to get IPs assigned through LACNIC
