Geert, Thanks for the alert ! BNP have just set their foot in Bangalore, India, bought up office space in a prime location and are currently wiring up their offices. So, It wouldn't be too long before they get in touch with me. --Gopi Garge RIPE NCC Hostmaster sez:

Hi,

We have received requests for IP address space from various sources for the Banque Nationale de Paris, in various countries.

Since it looks like they are shopping around, and they already have a substantial amount of address space, we would like you to refer them to the RIPE NCC if they apply at your registry.

Thank you.

Geert Jan
