NSI and competition to RIPE and APNIC

I am not sure if this is the proper forum so if not, please send me to the right one. It appears NSI is establishing franchises throughout the world and the franchisees get commissions on domains and IP nets handed out. What is most interesting is IP net allocations. RIPE handles Europe, APNIC handles Asia Pacific and Internic used to handle everything else. It would appear that NSI is gearing up to challenge that premise by setting up frachisees all over the world to hand out IP blocks. How will that affect routing tables? Has IANA stated anywhere that Internic should *not* handle areas covered by RIPE and APNIC? Hank Nussbacher
