For example, if you went from $100/$200 a year to even $1000 a year, its still in the reasonable range. I would argue that the difference between LIR and End User though is currently excessive.

Perhaps you just focused on the setup costs. My statement (Annual
fee) stands.<br></div></blockquote><div> </div><div>Yes you are right i did looked at something different as i assumed there was really no issue with the current pricing for the end-user. So i was looking at the pricing that Institutions will be paying if they were now categorized as an LIR.<br>

From the structure you reference, /24 PI should pay $100 annually.
/16 is also expected to pay $100. It is >/16 to /14 that
progresses to $200.</div></blockquote><div><br>I think $100/$200 annual payment is not the biggest and unbearable part of the end-user's current pricing :-)<br clear="all"></div></div><br>Regards<br>-- <br>------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
