No doubt ! My simple question: does the above justify a yearly fee of US$
390 ?

I have NOT been asking for a reasonable price because we are RIPE member,
and
once again, YES such a service costs money and YES we (= our customer) is

And this
is obviously not he case. Please feal free to add anything you want to the
calculation.
