[rpd] Internet number resources reporting laws

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

I came across the Electronic Communication Numbering and Addressing)
regulations from Tanzania that requires

11.(1) -All entities assigned with internet resources by
the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) shall submit to tzNIC
on a monthly basis both assigned and in use Internet Protocol
(IP) addresses.
 (2) The tzNIC shall maintain an updated National
Data Base of any IP addresses in use and registered domain
names in the United Republic.
 (3) The tzNIC shall after every three months starting
January, 2012 submit to the Authority information on the
assigned IP addresses and registered domain Names within
that period.

Here is the linkt ot the regulations:

Just wondering if there are other countries within Africa that
requires resource owners to report their usage to the government. What
are the pros and cons of such regulations?
