We act as your Local Internet Registry (LIR) sponsor and handle the applicable application or service process on your behalf.” Sources: https://www.sknk.eu/faq ### [Who needs an ASN?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/shikanoko-networks-q141209696#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-4ad8cae9d8206949-a-ba7f0a0703e234e62201) “A network operator may need an ASN when it operates a distinct external routing policy, connects to multiple upstream networks, or participates in BGP peering. Having an ASN does not by itself make an accompanying PA prefix provider-independent.” Sources: https://www.sknk.eu/faq ### [Do I need to be a RIPE NCC member?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/shikanoko-networks-q141209696#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-4ad8cae9d8206949-a-926970425f685026d5da) “No. SKNK is the RIPE NCC member and acts as your sponsoring LIR; you remain a sponsored End User. RIPE NCC therefore does not bill you a direct LIR membership fee. Your ASN and the SKNK PA /48 have different ownership and portability rules, explained on our Resource Lifecycle page.” Sources: https://www.sknk.eu/faq ### [Is there any ongoing fee?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/shikanoko-networks-q141209696#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-4ad8cae9d8206949-a-3ff4c8683854d5dee4a9) “The current sponsorship fee is EUR 89/year.
