I fail to understand how charging 50E or even 500E for an ASN would 
cripple any company.  If the ASN fee were to rise and you manage 30 
downstream clients - each of which requested an ASN - you simply show 
them that the actual cost is now 500E and not 50E.

If 500E per ASN is enough to cripple a company then perhaps your 
business model needs to be adjusted.
