Cheers
I need to know the approximate cost (and maybe also the exact procedure) to get hold of a class-C IP address block. according to RIPE, they "sell" the IP-addresses to members only, which seem to be ISP's (don't know if an individual can sign up as member). and according to some search I made on google, RIPE itself doesn't charge for the blocks, but the provider may charge the cost (administration etc.) to the customer.
basically, I need the IP range for a client, and they're already attached to Swisscom for other purposes (IPSS). of course you'll believe me that I was connected to approx. 10 different people all over switzerland, only to hear "the corresponding account manager will get back to you to quote a price". that was 2 days ago, and now the line is busy (ironically, I thought that phone companies can manage not to have a line busy on a service center, but to be able to tell you exact waiting time, re-route your call to a free callcenter agent etc., but that's another story).
so can anyone tell me how much 255 public IP addresses would approximately cost?
thanks
