Je soutiens tous les propos de Jackson Muthili. Quels sont les objectifs inavoués des manoeuvres dilatoires entreprise par Andrew et ses co-listiers. Ces ressources appartiennent à la communauté africaine et doivent être geré rationnellement gare aux rapaces opportunistes soucieux juste du lucre.

C'est à cause des gens pareils que des individus se promenent en Afrique avec des coffre-fort d'adresses IPv4 inutilisés.

I support all of Jackson Muthili's comments. What are the unacknowledged objectives of the delaying tactics undertaken by Andrew and his co-listiers. These resources belong to the African community and must be rationally managed by opportunistic raptors who are just concerned about profit.

It is because of such people that people are walking around Africa with safe of unused IPv4 addresses.
