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

Is this discussion about RIPE fee plans or about IPv4 usage? That’s 2 different questions :-)

My opinion both can be solved by fee identical to the number v4 in use, for example 1 USD year per /32 address.

If someone (presumably big company) wants to keep their bag of /8’s - they should be actually using them. When IP is in use that’s fair to assume it’s generating income and that 1 USD per used address is not a problem at all.

And if someone wants just to keep big subnet because it was given to them on early days of internet - this will become indeed expensive and it will motivate to return/sell some.

Outcome 1: small eyeball networks will be able to get at least /24 without astronomical investment and/or 2 year wait and pay just 254 USD for account.

Outcome 2: Big ISPs and companies will pay significantly larger fee (yet literally nothing for them) and RIPE income will be much bigger.

Addresses is not asset which should be kept and accounted in company “balance”. Policy always assumed fair *use*, not fair *keep*.

Same way domains require small fee per each making keeping thousands not in use a bit expensive.
