Abssolutely *NOT*. their unique status derives from the actions of a contractor "faithfully executing" it's duties on the behalf of the U.S. Gov't. 'Antitrust' does not apply to the Gov't, nor to those acting on its behalf, nor to anyone operating a government-sanctioned monopoly.
As far as I am aware, the USG contract is with ICANN, not ARIN (see http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/iana/ianacontract_081406.pdf, section C.2.2.1.3).
What about the other RIRs worldwide?They're outside U.S. jurisdiction. Sherman Acg 2 is irrelevant to their operation.
The question was about other RIRs. Other countries have anti-monopoly/anti-cartel laws. Regards, -drc
