this, in short, makes a great case for a rather HARD LANDING for AfriNIC is IPv4 resource allocations to only the “IPv4 poor” countries given their per capita current allocation.


Doesn’t it?

Yes, Voldemorts might like a hard landing, but I am of the opinion that, should the consensus/direction/etc. be to further Internet reach (and by extension IPv4 allocations) in those IPv4 poor regions, the logical (Spock speaking) conclusion would be to initiate hard landing(s) for the IPv4 “rich” (per capita) countries.
