Universities are not the only organizations holding PI space.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Yes Sir, and i have not also indicated they are the only ones, i believe 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.<br>

I have not read a mail from anyone, who is against discounts and more for Universities. There is a subsisting 50%. I stand corrected, but I believe the AAU at some point offered and indeed met the outstanding 50% for Universities.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>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 subscription and yes there is a 50% discount and there was a 50% outstanding offering by AAU(although this in my opinion was not very much available). <br>

Should a University that holds a /16 PI pay the same annual fee as a University that holds a /24 PI? I don't think so.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
<br></font></span></blockquote><div>Although i am not sure there is /24 allocation from Afrinic but what i am 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:<br>
