[AfriNIC-rpd] Definitions of LIR versus End User

[Duncan Martin]

Hi Sunday
Thanks,  I agree with what you've said.
I'm still curious as to why you said that the debate about definitions "points to a "otal warp in the AfriNIC fee structure".

A Local Internet Registry is allocated a block of IP addresses which
it assigns to its customers.  An End-User is assigned a block of IP
addresses for internal use.  The difference between the two is that
the LIR is doing business by reassigning IP addresses and it charges
its customers for that.

The fee structure can be changed by making a proposal at an Annual
General Meeting.  If the fees for End-Users is increased
significantly it will adversely affect universities.
