Afrinic has commenced Exhaustion phase 1, but is still an IPV4 haven compared to other RIRs based on the Internet number resource status report prepared by the RIRs </span><a href="https://ripe77.ripe.net/presentations/145-18-0903-NRO-Statistics-2018.pdf">https://ripe77.ripe.net/presentations/145-18-0903-NRO-Statistics-2018.pdf</a>. <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This is bad for development as most RIRs are now more focused on IPV6 deployment. Some RIRs have exhausted their IPV4 blocks and require IP blocks from neighboring RIRs. With this policy well implemented, Afrinic and LIRs will make substantial profit while Afrinic forces the needful development to the new internet, which is the IPV6.</span></div><div><span></span><br><span>Sent from my iPhone</span><br></div></body></html>
