<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your contribution.<br>
<br>
The primary motivation for this change was that both RIPE and APNIC noticed a large number of assigned ASNs that were not being advertised in the Global routing tables. Approximately 21% of all ASNs are functionally not participating in global routing.<br>
<br>
By implementing an ASN fee, they hope to have these unused numbers returned to the RIR in order to prevent wastage in the long term.<br>
<br>
Each have taken separate paths to execute this. RIPE has a flat €50 fee per ASN. While APNIC has gone for the first ASN to be free, but every subsequent one being charged AUD600. While APNIC policies might not impact hobby network growth in the future, RIPE
policies might.<br>
<br>
When ARIN implemented these fees, they were justified as being a more financial issue to stay afloat.<br>
<br>
Definitely appreciate your perspective though.<br>

For some of your questions in the survey around the perception of scaling concerns, as I hope you are aware, there has been a large body of work previously in this space. Probably the easiest thing to point to would be the old IRTF RRG:
