Sorry for beeing too brief here: From my perspective, becoming an LIR implies the intend to provide service a lot of customers, and I don't see how a single /24 would suffice there. That's what I meant with "basically useless" (from a business point of view). > According to the 2019 billing scheme, this is still unchanged, though I > reckon it does not apply to PA space: > > "The separate charge of EUR 50 per Independent Number resource > assignment will be continued.

So strike my argument about that part. Well, I'd like to debate whether a charge per /24 block held (so a /16 counts as 256 blocks) even for PA would "encourage" to return unnused space, but I doubt this is the place nor would this be approved by the GM anyway ;) -kai
