I don't think anyone disagrees about coming up with a realistic pricing discussion.
Good. Then the next question would be, what would you consider to be realistic minimum and maximum fees? Personally, I do believe the membership fee between a small start-up and a giant telecom company with millions of IPs and customers can and should be significant, and not just a couple hundred. But yes, I do am realistic enough not to expect the 27 EUR for a /22 absolute fairness. Let's see... - The budget & activity plan expects 21 million membership fee income. - Can differentiate by price by simply counting the total number of IP-addresses that have been allocated to a LIR - Different pricing per category instead of ultimate fair per individual IP pricing as concession to larger LIRs. - Let's have a lower limit of 500 EUR for /22, similar to the $ 500 another NCC charges ( https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html#categories ) - Upper limit of say 8000 EUR for the largest LIRs - If you where to have 5 categories. You could roughly have something like this: Total IP space Number of LIRs Fee Total fee <= /24 1 500 500 <= /23 4 500 2000 <= /22 6081 500 3040500 <= /21 1583 1000 1583000 <= /20 1638 1000 1638000 <= /19 1548 2000 3096000 <= /18 1040 2000 2080000 <= /17 709 4000 2836000 <= /16 385 4000 1540000 <= /15 293 8000 2344000 <= /14 133 8000 1064000 <= /13 110 8000 880000 <= /12 80 8000 640000 <= /11 64 8000 512000 <= /10 25 8000 200000 <= /9 14 8000 112000 <= /8 6 8000 48000 <= /7 2 8000 16000 Totals 13716 21632000 Could also have more categories, or have per IP pricing within a category to smooth things out further.
