In new charging scheme I have to pay 5000 Eur for 73.440IPs (1x/16,1x/19) like an ISP with 1.024.000 IPs (/12)! I pay 0,068 Euro for each IP. The ISP with 1.024.000IPs pays only 0,00488 Euro for each IP. I have to pay !!14!! times more than the other ISP!
Er, what about the other db resources? ASNs, IPv6 space, PI etc? If you want a per 'thing' pricing structure would it not be better to charge: Membership X,000 PA (or X00) db object Y PA (i.e. each object in the db be that a /24 or /8 of v4 space, a /32 or an ASN) This would then better reflect the 'impact' on the db (it might also encourage a better maintenance of the db) you could of course charge different value for each type of object if the NCC can quantify the 'impact cost' of each type of resource.
