Plusnet is most likely also paying to be a RIPE NCC member (a LIR), which will cost them about EUR1400/annum. £5 for a static IP, one-off - that's entirely reasonable. Even 5/month.
You can buy a /24 for €2000-$4000. It's getting cheaper if the prefix is longer (/23 and so on). It's about €.65/IP-€1.3/IP/month the first year. You can also rent a /24 for about €200/year. Each IP-resource /16, /23 or whatever it is from RIPE-NCC cost you €50/year. Plusnet has 1095865 IPv4 addresses that they maintain in the RIPE-db. If half of them is used for static assignment and you pay €5 it's €2.7M/month. That's good bushiness. And the fee for being a LIR is a lot of other things. Request IPv4, IPv6, ASN. Use the RPKI-system etc. -- /bengan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
