Discouragement. There are some end users where "everyone agrees" that PI space is a "must", and then there are some where renumbering really would be quick and mostly painless. I strongly think that the latter kind should not be able to get PI space easily, for a one-time-fee, and burden the *recurring cost* for their convenience on everybody else. If we make PI cost a "reasonable" price (like "extra-small LIR") per year, this will not hinder networks that "must have" PI very much - and those that find PI a nice and cheap convenience might reconsider.

Which means "the LIR pays", which hopefully translates into "the PI holder pays". The problem with the current scheme is that it's a one-time fee, payable only in the year of PI assignment (!), and after that, the PI is free. > Which can end up - in a way - to be unfair, as PI networks are > requested for end customer, which may at some point in the future switch > providers.
