Short content description
-------------------------

This document defines the 1998 RIPE NCC charging
scheme.  It is based on the same model used in 1997;
"RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 1997" (ripe-146).  This
model was approved at the 1996 contributors meeting
and has met with success.

Using the 1997 model we have developed the charging
scheme presented in section two below.  Section
three details further steps to implement the scheme.
Section four provides details of the reasoning
behind this scheme both for the record and those
interested.
