Not necessarily disagreeing with you that there might be good arguments
for "who pays not so much" vs. "who pays more".
Now, I doubt that a large carrier that has everything automated causes
as much cost at the NCC as a new LIR that opens a support ticket twice
a month... so, shall the new LIR pay twice the amount that DTAG pays?
But anyway: as Jim Reid correctly remarked, this is a different thread,
*and* doesn't belong into APWG anyway. Fees are a member business, and
need to be voted on in the member meeting (AGM) and discussed on the
ripe-members list.
So: please stop this particular sub-discussion on the APWG list.
