It is incredible how misleading can be people when does not want to pay. And more they consume, less want to pay. If you consume water, you don't pay support ticket, you pay liters of water. IPs, PI, PA, AS are public resources, and usage of public resources must be paid, proportionally to usage. Less availability there is (like IP v4 addresses), the most you pay. Most of big operators ask to end users something like 6 EUR/month for each public IP, so I don't understand they must have those IP for free.

Dear Erik,
With all do respect for your effort, but this is not making anything easier than the current charging scheme AND it is still assigned resource based. If you want to have a charging scheme based on used resources (FTE’s) of the NCC, go for a base fee with a charge per ticket at the RIPE NCC, like any other support contract you have. Either Pay per ticket or pay a larger fee upfront and have X calls for free.
What is main value which RIPE? Assign IPs? Or provide Support? Of course both are very important. But Support - it is a way how to get resource. Regards IPv6 we can charge LIR, for example, 750 EUR for each additional IPv6 network /32. So in this way we don't need support for assigning IP addresses.
What do you think?
