<div>Equally no sane reason technical or business for building a purely v6 network in the Afrinic region. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We need to take both macro and micro considerations. In most other regions the argument for v6 is very valid. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If v4 is so "last century" how come some "insane" people have created a lucrative business out of it ??</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This resource needs to stay in the region and be protected as we plan our V6 future. </div>
