I'm not sure you do understand the concept of IP space allocation and assignement from IANA via RIRs via LIRs to EndUsers or you might have seen some other company (and not the RIR) called RIPE.

Maybe your specific 'RIPE' provider is a good guy, but as for 'RIPE' as a company, I've been so inundated with hacker attempts from IP addresses that all belong to 'RIPE' that I finally blocked all IP Addresses from them.
I can say for me personally, 'RIPE' is a company I want nothing to do with and I will continue to block them.
Just one mans opinion, and may not reflect the group.

My $DAYJOB company is a LIR with RIPE. An ASN registered with RIPE via a LIR is 50 EUR (~66 USD) per year. I could help with requesting the ASN from RIPE and I can also take care of the costs, if necessary I think it could be possible that a few national or regional HAM clubs provide some funds to cover the yearly costs.
