Hehe very funny walu. ... The other really funny one is the fact that most
organisations don't have staff trained to manage these number resources or
know the importance of keeping those afrinic records updated. (Consultancy
anyone?) . Try querying the db for basic things on Kenyan isps other large
organisations. Neither do they see the need for the things like ipv6 or
dnnsec etc or the obvious need to even send someone from their organisation
to the summit and afnog  ... or heck even training even when organised
locally ..free of charge .... why would you represent such a bunch ?
