If you want to have a charging scheme based on used resources (FTE’s) of the NCC, go for a base fee with a charge per ticket at the RIPE NCC, like any other support contract you have. <o:p></o:p> Either Pay per ticket or pay a larger fee upfront and have X calls for free. <o:p></o:p> What is main value which RIPE? Assign IPs? Or provide Support? Of course both are very important. But Support - it is a way how to get resource. Regards IPv6 we can charge LIR, for example, 750 EUR for each additional IPv6 network /32. So in this way we don't need support for assigning IP addresses. What do you think? <div> -- Alexey Ivanov LeaderTelecom Ltd.</div> </body></html>
