[address-policy-wg] RIPE DB: disclosure of commertial information

Hi!

New cup of gas on that fire ;)

There is new database released: all bank transactions in Russia, IV quarter of 
2004 (this is update to exist database from April 2003). It costs only $100 
(source:  
http://top.rbc.ru/index.shtml?/news/policy/2005/05/20/20100238_bod.shtml). 
You can use it with RIPE DB and even see how much certain client pays for 
connection...
