Inexpensive RIPE LIR for ASN and IPv6 PA
RIPE really implemented yearly charges of 50 EUR for ASN and 75 EUR for IPv6 which is very sad for hobbyists.
Now especially smaller LIRs have have additional overhead and risk that they need to cover and add to these charges.
Is there a good option that's close to the RIPE prices of 50 EUR / 75 EUR ?
PS: I have both currently but my current LIRs charge me a multiple of the RIPE fees.

It's time to close the hobbynets.
This is no longer affordable.
Preparing the stage for making making obscene $, so IPv4 holders can switch money making schemes when IP holders take over the world.
RIPE NCC doesn't charge additional for IPv6 PA. Only PI fee will be increased.
However, based on some discussions and leasing out large IPv6 PA block might be a violation of address policy but I guess NCC doesn't have the budget to enforce it.

Too expensive for anyone. At least one fee should be waived for everyone
Sorry, I meant PI, not PA.
Anyway, ASN is more important to me than PI
What do you call inexpensive?
@kait Anything that's close to RIPE fees. Currently would be paying well over twice the RIPE fees.
iFog does it for 77 CHF/m I think. Cheapest I've seen so far.
We decided to set our ASN fee to €75. If that’s something that works for you, feel free to reach out directly or open a ticket on our customer panel. :-)
