A) Verio provides a free db for its customers
B) Altdb is free, and works great
C) If you have any sizable number of transits, routes, or BGP speaking 
   customers, you'll find it infinitely easier to write a 10 line script
   using IRRToolSet than it is to e-mail or call your providers with every
   change.
D) A smart company concerned with ease of use could take a php monkey off 
   the street and for $200 create a nice web interface for customers to
   manage their entries in an IRR db.
