They are obviously trying to avoid providing access to other ISPs. If they were trying to make people use CIDR more I would have expected a charge like $100/time-unit for 1 Class C and $500/time-unit for /19. Having "month" as time-unit is outrageous. $100 per year might be reasonable, depending on their reasons. As an aside: Telstra Internet in Australia charge A$2000 (US$1600) per month for BGP4 routing updates!! Danny
