Not every LIR is an ISP, a lot of them are. If you assign PI to somebody else, you have a provider/enduser relationship. That makes you a service provider of some sort.

You have to have a contractual relationship with the enduser that has PI now.

There are very few LIRs, that aren't providing some commercial product. And even then 50 EUR/year is compared to the money they probably pay for connectivity: near to nothing. Anyhow, this whole matter was also already raised at the GM. Kind regards, Martin List-Petersen -- Airwire - Ag Nascadh Pobail an Iarthair http://www.airwire.ie Phone: 091-865 968
