once again, this completely leaves ipv6 out of consideration, where is
Taking IPv6 into consideration doesn't change the overall equation a lot, IMHO.
what also gets widely ignored by many (not all, though) in this discussion is that RIPE/RIPE NCC is not just an IP dealer, but a whole lot more - don't forget all the training courses (which esp. are targeted for new and therefore mostly small members), all the cool stuff done by RIPE Labs, representation, etc. pp. In the end, just counting IPv4 addresses seems a bit _too simple_ to me.
