- marrickvillain2 1y agoFYI The Reg has covered the back story - https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/03/nrs_afrinic_review/ https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/03/nrs_afrinic_review/ - but suffice to say anything written about Cloud Innovation quickly attracts the attention of its lawyers. But evidence is being collected and the full story will one day be told.
