Er, what about the other db resources? ASNs, IPv6 space, PI etc? If you 
want a per 'thing' pricing structure would it not be better to charge:

Membership X,000 PA (or X00)
db object  Y PA (i.e. each object in the db be that a /24 or /8 of v4 
space, a /32 or an ASN)

This would then better reflect the 'impact' on the db (it might also 
encourage a better maintenance of the db) you could of course charge 
different value for each type of object if the NCC can quantify the 
'impact cost' of each type of resource.
