Dear Nigel,
We are looking at increased costs largely because we expect the "run out fairly" and IPv4 depletion measures to result in much more work for registration services.
Could you tell what you mean when you tell about "much more work for registration services" ?
Full budget (and charging scheme details) will be available well in time for the AGM.
New charging scheme in not very good balanced. IP-address have very high value. AS - not. When end user need IP-addresses - most of time needs for understand how customer will use IP-addresses and ASN RIPE give automatic and as a result cost of assignment ASN is not the same as assigment IP-addreses. I think cost of ASN assignment should be 0 euro. As a result this resource should'n included on calculating size of LIR. I suggest to remove this column from charging scheme. -- Alexey S Ivanov General Director LeaderTelecom Ltd.
