[ncc-services-wg] Splitted PI billing

Hi Max,

as defined in RIPE-482, "a charge of EUR 50 for each independent Internet number
resource". Each inetnum is a independent resource, even if your End User will receive
/20+/22+/23+/24.

If you wish to change this in 2011 Charging Scheme, you have to do it more clearly.

I support your proposal.
