Interesting quote from the paper. I've sometimes wondered if RIR's do too much, if there is inherent mission creep to justify increasing revenue due to increasing member base. While it is often useful to the community and at least mostly harmless, it may reduce competition in areas that are not strictly needed to be monopolized. I believe monopolies are good for many things, but the scope of each monopoly should be well defined and no mission creep should be allowed. I'm not sure for example, if 11MEUR is needed for number registry personnel costs, that could give you 100 hostmasters with 5500EUR/month salary, in good likelihood, we'd be able to run focused number registry with volunteers. Inside monopoly, there is always honest belief that you are operating as leanly as you can, because usually no organization realizes their inefficiencies until they must to survive. -- ++ytti
