you do not pay for addresses. you do not pay for addresses. Please write 500 times.
EUR yearly. For smaller companies the new model will be an increase in cost, as the border to small as /22 is not high enough, so that they will be billed as regular (thus 50% of big LIR!). Next problem is, that big LIR may pick category "small" without beeing punished.
working in customer support the reality is that the amount of support a company needs is independent of the size. Often smaller companies even need more support then the big ones. If you want to be a LIR you have to pay for it (it = the service). Otherwise get addresses from your upstream and be happy with it. I (as a private internet citizen) support the new model (although I think that self-assessment is not such a good idea). best regards, Wolfgang
