[arin-ppml] AFRINIC And The Stability Of The Internet Number Registry System

[Christian Orozco]

Hello Ronald,

You already pointed out that there are hundreds of companies and yet you
still see CI's reach as "small." That simply does not sound right. You may
also want to check the LARUS website for their customer reference (
https://www.larus.net/customers) and cross-check the BGP. If you still
believe that there is only one large company that CI serves, you must have
not informed yourself well enough.

Also, with your statement, are you implying that small entities are less
important than large ones? And that there is nothing wrong in letting them
die?


Regards,
Christian
