<div dir="ltr">Hi Saul, <div> 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?</div>

As far as I am aware, the current requirement for getting address space is<br>
that you are a company properly established (all legal - as such) in Africa.<br>
There is currently no policy (except with the last /8) that states the<br>
resources you get have to be used in Africa....<br>
<br>
This might be good.... (get rid of all the IPv4, start using IPv6) or Bad...<br>
(we are doing *what* with our resources???)<br>
<br>
Maybe some policy needs to be designed - how do people feel...<br>
