why is broken ? because Ripe do not implement relation between PI holder thru Database information.
Dead PI is like Dead Domain name.
This is a fairly good analogy. My understanding of domain names is that they are normally delegated according to a contract with a registry or registrar. If the contract ends the delegation is removed.
There is a thriving market in 'dead' domain names. Several of our registrars base their business models around buying them and reviving them. For this to work they need to have a contract with us, and they need to pay a fee per domain name. However, the leverage we have is that the contract on a domain name is time limited, with on option to renew. If they do not renew then we remove the domain name from DNS. There is then a time lag before the domain is released back into the market. In other words, we control service, so we can enforce the contract. The NCC does not have a similar lever.
