Important note: it is preferred that you have a contract with an LIR  
for your PI space. If you can't or won't do that, you can have a  
contract with RIPE NCC directly. The intention is to do as much as  
possible throught the existing LIR structure. Because it is provider  
independent, switching between LIRs is ofcourse not a problem.

It is not the intention to force everyone to have a contract directly  
with the RIPE NCC. As Axel pointed out in the last RIPE meeting, this  
would lead to an unwanted situation. There is still freedom for the  
end user in choosing the LIR to do business with.
