Dear Dariusz, It's not as simple, your argument would be correct but only if we'd have infinite or large numbers of available v4 resources, while at the moment there is less than /8 available for allocation in RIPE region. 'Unleashing' the allocation process would only cause the remaining space to be depleted quickly, (perhaps within less than a year ?), preventing new businesses from entering the market next year, exactly what Gert said in his previous email. All the best.

Gert Doering -- no hats It is not right argument, because some of them is to small to pay Startup & Annual Fee and they don't need to be LIR if they need /25 or /24. I have technical ability to help them but I don't have IPv4 needed by them. Cost looks different, from different point of view - depends from EU country. Best regards, Dariusz
