Regarding the IPv4 fee policy, I am still of the opinion that the more IPv4 address space you use, the more you pay (per IP). Or we would not call it "scarse resource". Just my 2 Euro Cents. > We have received the message with fees for year 2012, and we've been > surprised, because we've been 'upgraded' from extra-small to small. > > I feel quite strange being now classified as small, because we are using > the smallest assignment possible (one /21 IPv4, one /32 IPv6, one AS). > > I studied the computational algorithm for assigning points, and I feel > quite strange points for IPv4 being calculated this way: > (first year of allocation LESS 1992) * IPv4 units; in our case, > this means => 2011 - 1992 * 1 => 19. > > See > http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/member-support/info/billing/how-to-calculate-a-billing-score > for scoring method. > > This means every one asking first block allocation after year 2008 will > be classified SMALL, despite of his real dimensions and resources. > > This is quite punishing for new comers like us, and not fair at all as a > fee computing method. > It looks like more we asked far from year 1992, more we have to pay.
