@Dmitry:
RIPE NCC does not earn quick money, it is a non-profit organisation and not a self-service shop.

@Lutz Donnerhacke:
I'm not sure what you mean, but it is allowed for a single company to create multiple LIR accounts and so get multiple IPv4 /22 at the end of the day. That is absolutely conform to RIPE policy.

Subject: Re: [members-discuss] LIR???s billing issues with RIPE NCC, need support

You are wrong. All my addresses are assigned and working. You may ask - 
why do I open LIRs again and again?

Because I need more addresses to offer to my customers. Purchasing 
addresses from open market is risky. Thats why I open new LIRs.

RIPE earns quick money in this case, not me.


Regards, Dmitry.
