So let those selling IPv4 pay a fee for the transfer! </div><div><br></div><div>And for the rest let’s stick to a real membership fee: one price irrespective of which services you use or not. The fitness center doesn’t charge you per minute, nor per device you use. It's a flat membership, full stop. Hopefully low enough so it doesn’t create a problem for anybody's bottom line.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers<br><div> <br> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'tahoma' , 'new york' , 'times' , serif;"> <div><strong>Michel LANNERS</strong></div> <div>CIO at LU-CIX Management G.I.E.</div> <div>--</div> </span>   <div><a href="https://www.luxchat.lu/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.lu-cix.lu/LOGO/sign-20231207.png" width="390" height="122"></a></div>  <span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'tahoma' , 'new york' , 'times' , serif;"> <div>Mail: <a href="mailto:michel.lanners@lu-cix.lu" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">michel.lanners@lu-cix.lu</a></div> <div>Luxchat: @3eb2pdflrq57:01.lu-cix.luxchat.lu</div> <div>Phone: (+352) 28 99 29 92-81</div> <div><strong>LU-CIX Management G.I.E.</strong></div> <div>202, Z.A.E.
