The local hosts are publicly seen as making a contribution to the Internet community.</p> <p data-kwik="33">The local hosts also benefit largely as they are mentioned in most of AFRINIC communication material and their logo, as well as the name, are present on site. This exposure can also be enhanced through a press conference held locally.
