John,  What if Acme Hosting, Inc., located in the Silicon Valley, found a niche
offering virtualized servers for Asian customers who want to have their
Internet-based services hosted more closely to the North American market.

Acme Hosting and their infrastructure are clearly in the U.S., but their
customers are not in the ARIN region.
[snip]

The end user might physically reside in Asia;  however,  if their virtual server is being hosted physically in the ARIN region,    and   the hosting company's  offices  are in the American region,

THEN  the user is essentially  "coming into the ARIN region" to do business.

I would make the argument,  that these are Asia-based people  Doing business in the US,
by virtually coming and buying product from a US-based company;   they might not be taking a plane trip into the US to setup the account,  but they are calling a US phone number, US-based e-mail address,  or  visiting a US-based website.

So while their nationality is Asian,  they may in fact be "US customers"


If the customer is doing business in the ARIN region;   then ARIN should not be examining their nationality too deeply,  as long as their full verifiable details are gathered  and available for dissemination by ARIN's auditors.
