While the global ISP market expands at a <strong>3.61% CAGR</strong> through 2035 driven by smart city projects, Africa&#039;s sole <strong>Regional Internet Registry</strong> remains incapacitated by a &quot;web of litigation&quot; targeting its <strong>IPv4 allocation</strong> capabilities. AFRINIC accuses <strong>Cloud Innovation</strong> and associated entities of filing procedural roadblocks specifically designed to stop address issuance and block <strong>bylaw changes</strong>, effectively freezing the organization&#039;s ability to serve its <strong>2,400 members</strong> across <strong>56 countries</strong>.</p>
