My company can easily afford the 1600 over the 1500. But several new LIR who only get the /22 have expressed that they think this fee is unfairly high so they would also like to pay only 500. Personally I can live with both - but I would like to see the fee strucure easily beeing explainable. Hans Petter </body> </html>
