Any reason why RIPE NCC charges so much more?

That's if you deal with the RIPE NCC directly. If you get your direct assignments via a LIR, the cost drops to €50 per each independent number resource, with no setup fee. Although a wholesale cost, it is significantly cheaper than ARIN.
Has RIPE charged a LIR for their independent resources yet? I don't think so. Therefore, comparisons with ARIN are a bit premature. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
