Hi Fernando,
You explained it as it should be understood.
Thanks; brother!

These are simple concepts; for a reader:
|- RFC 7020 - The Internet Numbers Registry System 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7020>
|- RFC 7249 - Internet Numbers Registries 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7249>
|- Regional Internet Registries | The Number Resource Organization 
<https://www.nro.net/about/rirs/>

Regarding an acceptable percentage for out
of region usage (ooR) of INRs (Internet Number
Resources); imho ARIN service region can easily
afford more than 50% (i understand: at least
60); but the AfriNIC service region can simply
not. What i could support for service regions
like AfriNIC or LACNIC, is at least 80% of within
region use of the given INRs...

...also, it should not be a matter of IPv4 only :-/
Thanks for considering also IPv6; as at least ASN
is a very distinct case.

What matter for me, is to have a story shared
by few of these small CDN service.
How can we really help them?
If any of those who operate these service could
comment here; then it would be easier to catch
(i) their real need and (ii) the barriers they fare
facing.

Remain blessed; y'all!

Shalom,
--sb.
