How many ASn's do you expect is regular use within an LIR ... I know personally 1 company that hold 99 AS numbers ( legacy ) and they actual use is probably less than 30 active AS nr's .. They received it from IANA back in the days in order to hand them out to customers ... They might not be the only one ...

Yes, I think that would be two completly different things.

We have a few dozen ASn's tied to a single LIR, most of wich are used by 
different end users.

But as we regularly apply for new ASn's on behalf of end users I am a bit 
confused here. The suggestion is to take away the multi homing 
requirement, right? But today, you always get a lot of questions from the 
NCC if you apply for a second ASn for the same end user. It is not like 
you will easily get millions of ASn's today just because you can come up 
with new combinations of 'two peerings'.

I might be missing something though.

And yes, I would have liked the annual ASn fee to stay.

Cheers,

Daniel
