I suspect that there would be a significant impact on APNIC's
operational efficiency (and potentially costs) if APNIC were flooded
with membership requests from bodies that fundamentally do not
understand the Internet or IP addressing, nor have a business need to
do so - all they would know is that they need IP addresses, and can't
get them from anywhere else.
it's the same the world over. real customers are such a pain. sigh.
