Note this is not actually correct. RIPE are more than happy to service
organisations in Asia Pacific with ASNs and netblocks, for example.

Stanley, ASNs are free if you are an APNIC member (as is address
space allocation). Note that membership does not automatically
entitle you to allocations of autonomous system or network numbers
however; you still need to satisfy minimum requirements for allocation
which are all documented at or near www.apnic.net.

If either of your upstream providers is an APNIC member, they should
be able to obtain an ASN for you. When I have done this for customers
here in NZ I haven't charged anything for it; your mileage may vary.

It _was_ the wrong mailing list, though :)
