Hi Chris: Leasing IP is part of internet service, what other service it could be? Food and beverage? LMAO.
What an assumption, a simple fact, APNIC runs out of IP address before I even finish my university, and I was not even living in APNIC region at that time because my university wasn’t in Asia. Stop deformation and personal attacks. Your arguement try to attack the person rather than debate the issue on hand means your inability to participate in constructive debate.
