[AfriNIC-rpd] IP address management practices/guidelines for ISPs

[Jean Robert Hountomey]

There is a need for strong education and communication with people at layer 
8, 9 or 10.

I know some countries in this 21 century where a  /30 cost more than 200 
USD/month while we are talking about critical infrastrucutre, enabling 
access etc..

And when people decide to go to AfriNIC their unfair answer is "we can't 
route your block".
