[members-discuss] Discuss Charging Scheme 2010

We've been discussing this draft with some of the NLNOG'ers (Dutch 
network operators), and from what we (or at least I) understood in a 
nutshell:

In this draft, the PI space will lose it's scoring points scheme, and 
it'll just cost 50 euro's/year for an allocation (doesn't matter if it's 
a /24 or a /21 ?)

Now a lot can (and has) already been said about the administrative 
implications, but from an operational standpoint it raises a few 
questions here.
If a PI assignment will 'only' cost 50 euro's a year, won't everyone and 
his dog with a good story on why they need PI space just request their 
own range ?, I'm seeing a flurry of new customers with 1 or 2 servers 
knocking at our door to colocate these and say: 'Hey we have our own PI 
space, we don't need part of your PA, please add our range to your routers'

Resulting lots of new small fragmented prefixes being added to the 
already growing global routing table..
