APNIC received the following IPv4 address blocks from IANA in February 2011 and will be making allocations from these ranges in the near future:

* 39/8
* 106/8

Reachability and routability testing of the new prefixes will commence soon. The daily report will be published on the RIPE NCC Routing Information Service.

Please be aware, this will be the final allocation made by IANA under the current framework and will trigger the final distribution of five /8 blocks, one to each RIR under the agreed "Global policy for the allocation of the remaining IPv4 address space".

In English ... the local authority APNIC has been given the LAST block of IPv4 address that can be doled out.
These will run out in the next few years.

So ISPs will have to make do after this, and things will start getting interesting.

Don't panic, but changes are coming.
