Designing a system that not only continues to make the vast majority of
LIRs pay far more per IP address than the big LIRs do, but on top of
that also makes your fee subject to some sort of "insider" knowledge?
As an employee of a smaller LIR I cannot see how this makes this new
charge scheme worth having over the current one.
As for the simplicity of this approach, simply charging everyone the
same amount or using a proportional system like APNIC seems far simpler
and more transparent from my point of view, and doesn't add the
incalculable factor of self-assessment changes to the mix of the thing.
