I agree as well. For Big ISPs, the RIPE fee divided by customer is not a big
issue. To preserve diversity in the internet, I is important to have small
ISPs.

If we just pamper the big ones, internet will change to a more and more
monopolistic place. Have a look at the aggregation taking place at the
moment and just imagine what the internet will be in 4-5 years...

I'm with you.
