I rarely post here, but this is not limited to ex-USSR. I’m a LIR in France, I know several other french LIRs, we are (very) small companies (usually not a full time activity and no profit made, just hobbyists) and this change is affecting us as well. So as long as possible we’ll use the possibility, as the RIPE proposed, to split payments for companies with limited cash flow but it will definitely become a problem.

Maybe grouping small entities into big, associative LIRs, would be a viable solution (our former sponsoring LIRs don’t want to sponsor small companies anymore).

Regards, Michel
