If only the Ripe service time usage is the matter, why not we charge
LIR by flat hourly rate?

The reason we are not I think is because internet is a community,
billiionairs who already made a lot money in the business shouldn't
ask more from new comers just because they ask too many questions.

Every body are once a newbie. So we should lower the barriers of the
community in order to have more people to join.
