And you know what, I suppose that this already happens and RIPE can't stop it. If new policy will try to block it, people will find our legal workaround. People are smarter than any institution.
That's why I want (v4|v6) PI to cost 2000EUR, not 50EUR.
This doesn't making sense at all. Or then each (!!) PA assigment also must cost 2000EUR (or more, depending on assigment size, as PA assignments are generally larger than PI assignments). If you only increase cost of PI, "smart people" just starts using their PA block divided into several parts... As mentioned by Marcin Kuczera today, this is happening ALREADY... just look into your BGP table, his scenario isn't fiction (just is hapening on their 1st IPv6 PA)... Any policy doesn't block organisation from becoming LIR, obtain maybe in some case "cheaper" PA and then split it into several blocks (and resell it). And nothing will block deaggregated advertisments in the BGP table in effect, as any policy doesn't imply real filtering... Global table will grow anyway, independently of the policy. Restrictions doesn't make sense here, on paper you can wrote anything and each limitation can be circumvented, some people are very creative... Daniel
