Oh! Only my contracts change price with time, I see... even ICANN asks more money for domains, and electrical power costs more, and bandwith changes prices, and salaries change... Only first RIPE members must have same price than twenty years ago!
This isn't a market. The NCC is in a regional monopoly position and any attempt to charge "whatever the traffic will bear" on the resources it administrates would (and should) be met with a challenge via the national and EU competition authorities. That would be a can of worms that I'm not sure anyone wants to open. rgds, Sascha Luck
