Well, if we will reduce IPv4 cost for small holders and increase it for large ones, we'll get nothing in terms of "IPv6 popularization". There still will be empty pipes and no content. You can't popularize IPv6 by volitional action. It's the wrong way. The broadband operators bear much more expenses than transit operators (and
Ivan M Makarenko wrote: there's no no contradiction here with your letter). And even when you understand that the broadband operators bear much more expenses you still call comunity to increase their expences for IPv4 resources?? In this case the only goal for for increasing expences for IPv4 resources may be the removal of competitors: expenses will be raised for SMALL/MEDIUM but be decreased for the LARGE. It's not the way IPv6 deployment should go. And many of members try to pay attention for this (but I think they have no chance to affect on this because we have (and had, and will have) a lobby of LAGRE's)
Don't get me wrong and don't blame me as an "LARGE snob" - But the acts are opposite with the words

a flatrate billing model and ditching that 2007-01 policy would indeed, be preferred over more complex methods.
I would also prefer a Flatfee for every RIPE member including all services without any "discrimination" (like PI assignment fee, extra pricing for additional ASN, ...) in combination with a price per IPv4 address for LIRs holding more than /12 addresses.
As extra large members control the core Internet infrastructure and do profit in a large scale from the current infrastructure these companies should have a strong motivation on putting forward the IPv6 deployment.
The current charging scheme results in the opposite in my opinion: Large and extra large RIPE members currently do not seem to have any motivation to move forward to IPv6 as they currently benefit the most from the sneaking shortage of IPv4 resources on holding most of these (resources and reserves) by now. 40k or 0,00236...€ per IP (wiwi proposal) are less than peanuts for extra large companies.
0,02-0,05€ per IP for extra large members sounds more reasonable for me and should lead to a strong step toward IPv6, soon. The funds of this charge for extra large IPv4 resource holders could be spend purposive on IPv6 deployment.
