Re: [address-policy-wg] RIPE Access Policy Change Request to allow allocations to critical infrastructure

Google is a business. If they want fault tolerance then they can

Ah, and VeriSign, or VRS, isn't? Or those DNS providers for ORG, INFO, LA, AG, ...?

buy it from Akamai or else build their own global infrastructure. If Google disappears, we can get similar service from many of their competitors. They aren't part of the infrastructure of the Internet.

But part of the economically critical infrastructure. And it's not the RIR's job to decide whether they better buy the service or provide it themselves. Sorry, this part of the discussion is heading absolutely nowhere. -Peter
