Dear all,

I can tell you my real experience with APNIC, when I want to transfer my unused 
IP ranges to a Singapore based ISP from my account, they deny it!! That is 
ridiculous! They said I cannot transfer! I cannot believe it if the IP address 
I owned but I cannot transfer it to a new owner.

Can anyone tell me who has the same experience?
