[members-discuss] Charging Scheme 2025

I still find it very special that if you look at an ISP that has +/- 1500
resource assignments, they only pay a maximum of 115k per year (!) with all
these models, even though they have millions in turnover and are the
largest customer of the basic services of RIPE. This does not seem like a
sustainable financial plan to me.
