e.Stream Networks recently partnered the Nigerian Internet Registration Agency (NiRA) as the Official Connectivity Sponsor for the African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) – 27 Meeting, which held in Lagos, to boost internet connectivity.
AFRINIC- 27 meeting is an avenue for internet professionals and organisations to meet and discuss policies governing internet number resource distribution in the African region, and share technical knowledge.
The AFRINIC is the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for Africa. It is responsible for the distribution and management of Internet number resources – IP address space (IPv4 and IPv6) and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) – in its service region, which includes Africa and the Indian Ocean region.
The growth of the Internet in Africa brings both opportunities and challenges. While economic growth and education are on the rise, there are still slow connections, un-relatable content.
