there is ofcourse an option to have some people that are desperate for ipv4 group up, approach those companies (that american insurance company which holds a /8 as well) and just pay them to manage their ranges (that is, turn them into a profit for the holders and everyone involved). outside of the ripe ncc. just start an external organisation that just rents (flat-fee) or buys those ranges from the original holders, then pimps them out to its members. quite sure mercedes benz doesn't need a /8 themselves :P (daimler ag is their old name btw - they didn't even change it when they renamed it back to mercedes benz ag ;) as corporations seem to like 'whatever makes them money without much work' most of them will probably take the offer.

Here is some examples why current charging scheme and new draft is not so good for Members and why we have to move to charging scheme based on count of used IPs.
Case 1. Inetnum: 15.0.0.0/8 (16 777 216 IPs ). ASSIGNED PI. Hewlett-Packard Company.
This was not handed out by the RIPE NCC, so is completely irrelevant for any discussions about the RIPE NCC charging scheme.
