I would like to mention that my main job is
designing and implementing internet rather
than telephony network. I know that there is
some similarities and differences between this
two networks. the thing that I didn't know was
that telephony services are geographically bounded!!
well, I am not going to do a comparison between
this two networks and I leave talking about this subject
here.
The thing that I would like to remind  is that
the decision making about two letter country TLDs
subdomains are given to LIRs residing in the same
country.I would like to ask why the same approach is
not implemented about IPv6 address space allocation.
there is a large address space and we can allocate a
prefix to each country.the allocation inside country's
allocated address space can be left for a LIR inside
that country.in this way address space fragmentation
can be avoided. it was not possible in IPv4 because
of small address space that was available by IPv4.
all policies ( classless address space allocation,
designing procedures by which a LIR or RIR
to become sure that address space is really needed and
so on) was because the address space was limited and
IR's decided to extend the life of IPv4 and minimize
address space consumption.the things are different in
IPv6.why should the same procedures be used in
IPv6 address space allocation?having a large address
space the network can be designed very easier and better
