LACNIC Is In Control In Latin America

Posted by timothy on from the here-are-your-numbers dept.

I doubt whether many people will even realize it's haappened, and it's unlikely that arin will effectively lose control until they republish their database on 1 December."

    No, it's just that nobody cares.

    but today LACNIC, the fourth regional internet registry, will assume control of all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in Latin America and the Caribbean (mostly in the 200/8 network).

    If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of ... constipation. That's right: nobody gives a shit.

    I doubt whether many people will even realize it's haappened,

    Just like you didn't realize it's haapened?

    and it's unlikely that arin will effectively lose control until they republish their database on 1 December."

    Don't worry, slashdot will undoubtedly republish this story 3 or 4 more times before then.

    ...this is somewhat old news by a couple three weeks anyways. I noticed this a while back while looking up IPs I suspected of being open relay/proxies or just generally borked. The ARIN registry referred me to LACNIC. This was at least a couple weeks back. I don't know much other than that.

    LACNIC, soon to be synonomous LAXNIC, shore for LAXATIVE-NIC, because a little spam goes in and a whole buttload of it comes out (with great force I might add).
