working in customer support the reality is that the amount of support a company needs is independent of the size. 
Often smaller companies even need more support then the big ones. 

If you want to be a LIR you have to pay for it (it = the service). Otherwise get addresses from your upstream and be happy with it.

I (as a private internet citizen) support the new model (although I think that self-assessment is not such a good idea).
