Announcing your AMPRnet allocation on internet is
simply a matter of
telling your colocation/VPS hosting company that you have portable address
space that you want to announce on internet and route that to your server
or router. That is a standard change in their portfolio, they do that
for lots of other customers and for them it is a simple matter of
configuration in their existing network. They know how to do it and
they already monitor it.
But this option is not always available in France. Several big providers
do not offer this option at all. And for those who do, it's expensive.
The cheapest I found gives a discount of 50% for hams, but it still
costs $80/month ! That's why a standalone D-Star or DMR repeater sysop
can't afford that.
That's the reason why a regional or National BGP platform with ressource
sharing seems to be a good idea to me. Standalone users or sysops would
just have to reach their closest plateform via VPNs.
