Hi Bill, There are very few transfers into one-way recipient NIRs, nothing substantial that I can find. Also this type of setup is the opposite of those free trade agreements, it means American exports and dollars flowing into our region. I agree the best situation would be for every RIR to allow addresses to flow like packets, across borders. I hope that will eventually be the case in the world and I will try to make it so. This is a step towards that.

Yeah. Market forces. The APNIC NIR non-reciprocity scam has nothing to do with the imbalance. > I talked to some LACNIC members who expressed an unusual fear to me, a > fear based on the difference in economic realities in the Southern > versus the Northern Hemisphere in the Americas.

Every free trade agreement between has been to our southern neighbors' benefit. If they don't want another, why should that be our problem? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................
