[members-discuss] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 Open House: Recording and Slides Available

Hello,

That is not a valid way to put it. Simply because this resource is low on supply, does not mean that the owners of the actual resource should be coerced (financially or any way to be honest) to return it. 
Also the low supply is not necessarily created by small/medium companies, it is created by big first players in the industry.

The 185.0.0.0/8 prefix that RIPE handed to LIR’s since 2013, it lasted for 6 years and it reached to thousands and thousands of companies that created a value added chain. 
Now if you look at assigned IPv4 to companies, you can see that companies like Ford and Mercedes and Cogent have EACH a /8. Which means supply for another 18 years for a RIR like RIPE. 
Yes, Cogent is a big ISP, but they do not need 16 million IPV4 on top of the other milions they have. 

And let’s not talk about the other 13 x /8 that a certain government agency has. 

By forcing some LIRs to give back some IPv4, we are searching to financially target companies that got late in the game.
The big players are LEGACY holders and cannot be coerced at this point to pay anything for their resources. 
So how is that fair?

Thanks,
Petru
