Thank you for pointing this out for us. We will certainly announce the new
block in the future.

For more information on the resources administered by APNIC, see:

    http://www.apnic.net/db/ranges.html For information on the minimum

allocation sizes within address ranges administered by APNIC, see:

    http://www.apnic.net/db/ranges.html For information on the minimum

allocation sizes within address ranges administered by APNIC, see:

    http://www.apnic.net/db/min-alloc.html

We don't have the information about unallocated address as it is hard to
maintain upto date but we do provide statistic monthly on what we have
allocated. Please see:
