Halving what fee?

No, but it has built-in the cost of evaluating previous utilizations, plus
some sort of pro-rate for the base costs of operation.

:  * ARIN has not made any visible effort to reclaim the numerous
:    /8 and /16 netblocks that are currently underutilized and in many
:    cases completely unused,

Which is not necessarily something that ARIN has the authority to do.

:  * ARIN has not addressed the problems with netblock hoarding and

:    $1,000 per year for a class C, regardless of bandwidth),

I'm not sure that anyone has raised this issue.

I think the general feeling is that ISPs who charge for address space
will lose out to those who don't.
