Continuing this conversation beyond the four day mark costs us all time, which also costs money, the real question is if you think your time spent on this matter is worth more than the ~400 EUR / year you stand to save should you win the argument. Because I'm pretty sure winning this argument is worth way more to those with large IPv4 blocks that you want too slap a not so insignificant additional fee on, and for what, being an older company? If you want to free up more IPv4 space for "the greater good" perhaps try looking at ways to reclaim space from the real bad guys, people who abused the loopholes in the last /8 policy to claim way more than a single /22. Which frankly should be treated with much more animosity than the legacy resource holders who actually brought the internet to the RIPE area before ripe even existed. Frankly, we should all be thanking legacy holders, because with out them, none of us would have jobs. -Tim <div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On 26 Sep 2016 9:26 p.m., "Radu-Adrian Feurdean" <<a href="mailto:ripe-ncc@radu-adrian.feurdean.net">ripe-ncc@radu-adrian.feurdean.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Wed, Sep 21, 2016, at 23:24, Simon Lockhart wrote: > STOP TRYING TO COME UP WITH WAYS TO RECLAIM IPv4 ADDRESSES.
