In fact, it might happen that then new laws are made to support that BGP hijacking is a criminal activity.

And if and when that happens, the NCC could already terminate the
membership. Section 1.2.2 (d) of ripe-697
The difference is that this has to be decided via the established
procedure of (Dutch) law, including judicial review, appeals, etc.

Another thing that might happen, and that is what I believe Nick
is alluding to, is that someone takes a look at how internet
resources are administered in the Service Region and decide that
this sort of monopoly is untenable and that there needs to be
a plurality of institutions to manage resources. Which rules they
would have and what this means for the "internet community" is
open to debate...
