I count the number of distinct reg-ids in the RIR statistics files
(ftp.<RIR>.net/pub/stats/<RIR>/delegated-<RIR>-extended-latest,
where <RIR> is in {afrinic,apnic,arin,lacnic}). The file format document
defines this field as:
This is an in-series identifier which uniquely identifies a single
organisation, an Internet number resource holder. All records
in the file with the same reg-id are registered to the same resource holder.
