As far as we're concerned we're going to follow all the necessary requirements and formalities needed for assignment of a block of IP-addreesses. We're ready to apply throught a standard procedure from the name of our company, or through one of the present LIRs. We could even get a status of a LIR for our company if needed and pay the initial fee and yearly fees. We hope that an assignment of the minimal IP block of addresses 2.2.2.0/24 (or 2.2.2.0/21) will not cause any routing problems, because the availability of this address from any part of the world will be achieved throught BGP Anycast. > Mostly I find it a pity that the NCC wasn't more accommodating and that > we're having this discussion at all.
