After my blog post about Hurricane Electric and RPKi support, I was seeing some comments by folks that warrant some clarification. I put together a short midnight podcast on this.  To summarize
1. route original validation is not the same as having ROA’S with your RIR
2. If you have an ASN you should have a peering DB entry
3.ROAs have nothing to do with your router supporting RPKI

Recently I sat down and did a podcast with Daniel White of Atheral (https://atheral.co/). We talked about how WISPS can use VOIP to prevent overbuilding, Unified communications, and some of the forms and procedures for getting started with VOIP.
