OK, let's say the ISP/LIR does the PI application etc for the customer and agrees with the customer that he/she will be charged x amount per year for the facility (seeing as ISP/LIR membership size and membership fee depends on number of allocations
More precisely: on the size (amount of addresses, not number of transactions) _and_ the age of the allocation/assignment. The formula is available somewhere.
The formula is available http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/billing2005.html
Remember, an LIR is not required to offer that service. So unless you see some sort of advantage offering it, you would probably not do it in the 1st place, right?
Is money an advantage to offer service? People asks, we do. -- WBR, Max Tulyev (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)
