Could you tell what you mean when you tell about "much more work for registration services" ?

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.
