[members-discuss] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2024 Consultation

Dear RIPE,

 

Thank you for the opportunity to input to the consultation.

 

We would be strongly in favour of model 2 for the following reasons:

 

We are a small, non-profit-making provider of fibre broadband to a rural
community.

We fill an essential gap, as communities like ours tend to get left behind
in the rollout of FTTH by the major suppliers.

We have only a small core team, so are not able to take advantage of the
ancillary benefits that RIPE offers, such as training schemes and
conferences.

 

The cost of model 1 would represent about 3% of our turnover, which is a
significant element in our cost scheme, and a barrier to attracting new
subscribers.

 

I hope you will give this due consideration:  model 2.

 

Kind regards,

 

Dr Paul Newton

F4RN
