2) the bigger is the LIR, i.e. the more revenues it gets in the telco market, the more it should pay. This is not so related to "resources consumption" but to a more logic and ethical issue regarding the duties that each of us should have in front of the community. I do not see why a small company or a start up should pay as much as a Telco whose revenues are billions per year. If we state that "we pay all the same" then we are not talking of a community, we are going against the basic idea of a community where each one should contribute for what you have.
It is communism or socialism or whatever...
you forgot to mention Christian :)
Anyway I do not agree that somebody is better than I am (or my company is) to pay less than I have to pay for the same services to the regional monopoly.
in term of "service" I do not agree that it's the same service. A small LIR does not continously request different address spaces (which now takes time to be approved by RIPE) or the number of objects allocated into the DB.
(Please note that I work for an organization which has the RIPE NCC contribution category Small.)
Put in simple words: the lower is the fee for small and extra small the more benefits we will get as Europeans. Paying the same fee as a national operator is paying, does not sound like a good idea to me for the creation of new ideas and to keep the market as much open as we can to innovation. By the way, I would say that sounds more communist the fact that the price should be the same for each LIR. Now talking as Capitalist: the bigger is your company the more interest you have in order to keep the service up and running. Now considering that the fees are used to make RIPE survive I would say: ok let's close RIPE and let's see who is going to cray more because there is no more IPv4/IPv6 management in Europe: a small LIR or a huge Telco? That's why a bigger LIR should contribute MORE than a small one. As I said, just my 2 Euro cents
