[rpd] IPv4 policy on where space is used.

[Stephen Wilcox]

Hi Saul,
 so a successful African company that wishes to expand outside Africa is
forced to go to APNIC, RIPE, etc who are unable to assign space as they
have ran out. Isn't this an issue with regionalising resources for global
business?

Regards
Steve
