[members-discuss] [Ticket#2012072401002498] Probably Free /8 networks in RIPE region

At risk of giving away state secrets, some of UK Gov’s 51/8 is indeed used, just that you can’t see it.

 

I don’t believe that membership charging scheme should be influenced in any way by the “IPv4 conservationists”. Member fees are for member services, and nothing else. Yes, the bigger players should contribute *slightly* more, so we can keep the fees competitive for new entrants (more members = better for everyone), and there can be ways to “encourage” fair play.

 

Now let’s hear no more of this “charge-per-IP” nonsense…

 

Kind regards

Dear Members,

Here is some examples why current charging scheme and new draft is not so good for Members and why we have to move to charging scheme based on count of used IPs. 

<snip>

Case 3. Inetnum: 51.0.0.0/8 (16 777 216 IPs ). EARLY-REGISTRATION. UK Government Department for Work and Pensions.
   a) For free (legacy).
   b) This network doesn't have any routes. 

<snip>
It is just a small amount of problems which we have right now. We have a lot of free IPs, but we don't use them. /8 for 50 EUR? This is cost of current (and new) charging schemes. How to get free IPs back to RIPE? Just charge some money for each IP. Thats all. If customer don't need IP - he will return back to RIPE and may be we will get 3-5 /8 back to RIPE which we can distribute between members who realy need it.
