The International ISBN Agency does not influence or determine the cost of ISBNs since it is not directly responsible for their allocation beyond a group/national agency level. Hence this task falls to the group/national agencies and due to varying economical factors the cost of ISBNs is different for each agency. The price for ISBN should be fairly adapted in accordance to the living standard.
