[ppml] Policy Proposal 2003-15 - question on multi-homing issue

[Dawn Martin]

Just to note - I'm not opposed to this proposal but have a question that I
do not see
answered as of yet.

Why exactly does an ISP in southern Africa HAVE to have portable IP address
space
to be multi-homed? I understand the cost issues, I understand that there are
political
issues. I'm wondering if there is a technical issue? If so, can someone
please state
exactly what it is?

Thanks,
Dawn Martin
