Ripe atlas is sponsored by LIRs and other contributors such as probe hosts and sponsors, I have a feeling that it is not fair to make money selling services of platform which is supported by parties who are not stakeholders of the business. I don't propose to share business with all the sponsoring parties just mention that it is not fair.
It seems to be me that Stephane's model is no different from, eg, Red Hat. Any of the prospective customers can get a probe, rack up credits, and do their stuff for free anyway. As long as it is clear that the payment is for the service addon, not the packets themselves. -- Sanjeev Gupta +65 98551208 http://www.linkedin.com/in/ghane
