- dmitrygr 8y agoNot at all. Because it does not cost you $5,000 to get an IP address.
- justinjlynn 8y agoYes, yes it can. It's 5k for a Vendor ID. That's like a /16 subnet allocation in IPv4, which could easily cost far more than than a Vendor ID.
- IshKebab 8y agoYes but most people don't need an entire Vendor ID, but that's the minimum you can buy. They even banned vendors from selling individual product IDs. USB IF are dicks.
- lathiat 8y agoEven a relatively small subnet (/22 - 1024 IPs) will cost you $1-2000/year under most NICs.
