>Cloud Innovation is NOT a "paper company" or a "shell corporation". Reasonable people may resonably disagree about the exact definition of those specific terms. It is certainly the case that, unlike, say, Silicon Valley, or San Francisco, or New York, or Los Angeles, or Amsterdam, or London, or even Hong Kong, the Seychelles Islands do not enjoy a worldwide reputation as a hotbed of innovative young Internet companies. But of course, there are always exceptions. It might be helpful to our understanding if either you or Lu Heng would be so kind as to post some video or photographs of Cloud Innovation's sprawling, expansive, well-appointed, and well-equipped NOC in the Seychelles Islands, preferably with one of the many talented and well-trained staff networking engineers employed there holding up a copy of that day's local Seychelles newspaper, just so that we can verify. >Every customer provides a needs justification that would be accepted by >virtually any RIR they could apply to and CI is careful not to lease to >spammers and other miscreants. As I am sure you are aware Owen, the exact definition of "miscreant" when it comes to online actors varies rather dramatically from place to place across the globe. In some places, anything goes, as long as it isn't spam. Other places are rather less liberal. Just to take one example, as I understand it, in Mainland China (PRC) it is illegal to operate either online gambling web sites or online porn web sites. Can you state for the record, and definitively, that there are no such web sites, written in the Chinese language and targeting PRC nationals, that are currently hosted on any part of Cloud Innovantion's IPv4 address space? If not, then the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) might perhaps take issue with your blanket assertion that there are no "miscreants" currently making use of Cloud Innovantion's IPv4 address space. (I myself would not, but as a U.S. citizen I have a rather significantly different view on these things.)
