Would you (read: IANA) also be so kind and give them a nice chunk out
of:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-unicast-address-assignments

I guess and am most likely wrong, that many ISP's will be starting out
there and buying their equipment now, which, if they are able to get
IPv6 too at the same time would give a nice incentive to check out the
hardware that does IPv6, bringing Africa directly into the 21st
century :)

If I divided the list correctly, though based on continent, not on RIR
region, there should be a number of IPv6 ISP's already as per:

Btw, is there going to be an LACNIC-alike system for transfering
RIPE/ARIN resources to AfriNIC?

Greets,
