It is NOT a tax... The EUR 0.002/IP "fee" is way to low to promote 
address space conservation. RIPE has 49 /8 assigned by IANA, being some 
800M IP addresses. So the annual costs PER IP address in the RIPE region 
are EUR 0.018/(IP*year), *10-times* more than the EUR 0.002 - the 2010 
budget of RIPE being EUR 15M. And no, it's not even unfair to the big 
player.

Costs per IP (and year) in my proposal:

/22  0.490
/21  0.441
/20  0.319
/19  0.210
/18  0.130
/17  0.078
/16  0.046
/15  0.027
/14  0.016
/13  0.010
/12  0.006
/11  0.004
/10  0.003
/9   0.003
/8   0.002
