[AFRINIC-rpd] Further note on fee structure

[Andrew Alston]

Actually it's perfectly clear,

I did not say >=, I said > 

/24 - /23 makes you a Micro user,

If you wanted 3 /24s (768 addresses), you would be a Mini end user.

There is no equal sign there, it's in GREATER than notation.

You bring up a good point. Perhaps the old way was more confusing!


I would say that the below IS confusing.  so I have a /22, what do I pay,
the Mini End User fee or the Extra Small?

So if I need 512 addresses, then am I Micro or Mini?  Your formulation does
not make it clear to me!
