[members-discuss] [ncc-announce] [GM] Draft RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 Proposals

Hi!

Anyway I believe that it just need some time. Eventually the increase in IPv6 usage will do lead to the release of IPv4, as in the result nobody will pay to purchase IPv4, and it is important to support it at this stage.

Hi!

Unfortunately, the increase in IPv6 usage does not lead to the release of IPv4.
It is necessary not only to introduce a fee for already issued IPv4 (at least 0.1 cents), but also to charge 1000 times more for newly issued IPv4 addresses (1 euro per year) if they are issued more than the limit (1024 addresses). To reduce the attractiveness of their use.
