this is a multi-stakeholder discussion platform and institution is a part
of the stakeholders and also where is belong. Besides this whole thread
came about with institution as the scapegoat for this end-user/LIR talks.

I have not also seen any either. However, what i have seen is a move to
classify institution as LIR and thereby increasing their cost of

outstanding offering by AAU(although this in my opinion was not very much
available).

sure of is that the prices vary by allocation size and it has been like
that a long time ago. For instance /16 does not get the same price quote
with /21:
