“Essentially Lu Heng came in and took advantage of these ambiguities and lack of clarity in their regulations, and he got a bunch of addresses by registering as an African company and then began arbitraging them into the Chinese market,” said Milton Mueller, a professor of public policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Mueller, who has worked with regional internet registries to help create policy, said Lu’s use of IP addresses outside of Africa didn’t violate Afrinic’s rules at the time.
Mueller said that requirement is “not very reasonable,” and that ISPs typically don’t comply due to how onerous it would be.
Mueller said he is in favor of establishing markets to buy and sell IP addresses.
