Re: [44net] routable or private?

Steve, As others have said, you can be accessible from the Internet from 44-net address space if you want to be. If you want to be assigned an allocation that you can advertise via BGP and have an ISP willing to work with you, talk with your regional coordinator and Brian to get an allocation. Others have different opinions and wish to manage access to their allocations differently. You may disagree with them, but please be respectful of their opinions. At this point you seem to be the only one stirring up "some irrational waste-of-time argument" and complaining about the state of things without either proposing alternative solutions or volunteering to help make things better. Therefore, I will be no longer engaging you on this or other issues. -Neil On Wed, Apr 2, 2014 at 2:11 PM, Steve Wright <stevewrightnz(a)gmail.com> wrote: > (Please trim inclusions from previous messages) > _______________________________________________ >> If the answer to either of the above is "yes", then there is the potential >> for traffic which violates radio licensing laws to be carried by radio. > And >> after all, I thought RADIO was what 44-net was supposed to be about? > > No, 44net is a PUBLIC IP address range.
