Why not to have a some rule to forbid IPv4 transfer from last /8 RIPE block for 3 or even 5 years? This will prevent companies to register LIR just for selling addresses.
This of course is very strict, but some restriction like this can help.
this sort of thing won't help. Transfers will happen anyway. The only thing that will happen as a result of attempting to ban transfers is that the transfer will not be documented, which will drive the address market underground. This benefits no-one.
When you look at my idea posted earlier, like you I won’t interfere with the usage, just the bill is higher from a business perspective. Matthias
