Following this logic, as older one company is as less government taxes 
should pay ?

If all LIRs pay same amount, they _MUST_ have same rights and hold same 
resources. If we dont change the things now, the future of RIPE is dark 
really dark. In next 5-10 years number of LIR members will go dramatically 
down, fees will go up. The IT market in europe will consolidate 
faster. No new bussiness will start and there will be non stop RIPE budged 
cuts. In the end RIPE will gone. there will be 15-20 mastodont companies 
which will not need organization like RIPE.

Let's make things fair for all. Now (after 30 years developing bussines) 
can you tell your company is on same level with same money turnover as 
deutsche telekom for example ? Because you pay as much as DT for 
completely different bussiness scales.
