alt Hacker NewsJust a reminder, that the basic fees at RIPE are 2-3x the fees at ARIN which hurts individuals, SOHO and multihomed not-for-profit institutions.

It's basically $275/year to have an AS and some PA assignment with no intermediary LIR. In Europe, you have to pay €1800/year without an ASN included. Each resource is billed separately. If you go with a middleman (another LIR) you usually have to pay 200€+ (with taxes) for 2 resources (ASN and PI space)
Good to know. As someone on the ARIN side, I always found the fees reasonable.
If you want to be an LIR and have the right to manage other people's addresses on their behalf, as well as being a full member of the organisation with voting rights and so on. If you just need addresses, that's not you.
Your ARIN link is broken.
