Hi Guys, let`s keep it the same! As long as new LIR`s are created the old price scheme seems to be viable. Best regards, Claudiu Foleanu March 8, 2023 2:10 PM, "Servperso via members-discuss" <members-discuss@ripe.net> wrote:
Hello Everyone,
I'm analyzing the new charging scheme proposed by RIPE NCC.
Adopt the new scheme like that KILL every small hosting provider include us. I don't think that's a good idea for RIPE NCC to kill a lot of small provider.
It kill net neutrality, and i think a lot of small isp call IANA to sanction the RIPE board for that.
In practice, you ask 8000€ / year because a provider has one ASN ? It's mostly mandatory for all members to own at least one.
Why not doing some in between prupose:
More "reasonable" base membership. Small ISP doesn't have to pay mush. Let imagine a resource quantity category.
IPv6 only => category 1
< 10 000 IPv4 => category 2
50 000 IPv4 => ....
...
- Extra fee for every PI of 50€
Like that, big isp who can pay for the RIPE work because they extract high value from them.
Also people who sponsor a lot of PI (who generate a lot of work for RIPE resource analyst) pay for the employment time.
As a reminder, ARIN use this model.
Best regards,
Sarah
