I  don't  need  to pull it continuously. It can even be limited to one
connection   a   day,  although  again,  I  see  no  reason  for  such
limitations.  I  would  only  like  a  local  mirror that I can hammer
however  frequently I wish, that would be relatively up-to-date. I can
pull  the  snapshot  once  a  day,  restart  irrd and be done with it,
but...that's just wrong :)

I  would  expect  it  to be available to everyone interested that uses
BGP. Correct and automated filtering of routing between ASes should be
encouraged  in  every  possible way, and abstract pricing that doesn't
have any basis in real world isn't encouraging at all.
