Dear Michie, Great IDEA!
Err... Great idea... or is it? Really, cui bono?

Big LIRs however, with their multiple 12's, large AS sets and network allocations would probably pay drastically less than before. This would shift the weight off those who massively profit from the resources administrated by RIPE NCC onto those who take up less resources. I don't consider this to be very fair.
I agree as well. For Big ISPs, the RIPE fee divided by customer is not a big issue. To preserve diversity in the internet, I is important to have small ISPs. If we just pamper the big ones, internet will change to a more and more monopolistic place. Have a look at the aggregation taking place at the moment and just imagine what the internet will be in 4-5 years...
On the contrary: Those who use up large portions of the address space should damn well pay large portions of the NCC's bills.
I'm with you.
