I agree 100% with Vladislav.

We have agreements with clients for a small charge - maybe twice more 
than resource fee (50E) in RIPE. Sometimes there are very small clients 
but they need to have PI because of the way of working.
Nowadays  income from the clients isn't bigger but is less and less year 
by year because of competition on the market.

This what you plan with 2012 budget is like backstab for smaller ISPs, 
not for a big telecoms.

The charing scheme from 2011 was clear. Now is much more complicated and 
unfathomable (like resolve problem which was easy to predict from 30 
years, but now you want to clarify it in one year - only by rising fee).

It is not fair.
