Why, are they afraid that they will find out that they do not need it and
refuse the application?
No way. I just wanted to know if the workload to be expected is the same
as with ARIN and RIPE because i am doing this on a freelancer basis
for ISP companies.
Judging from the replies ive got so far now APNIC is as picky as RIPE
and ARIN.
It can be tough to get an routable assignment alltough the company
really needs it, you know. And at least the RIPE became more and
more picky within the last years. Like they allways want an deployment
plan now which was only asked for on special occasion like 2-3 years
ago.
thanx for all that answered so far.
regards,
Arnd

i can relate to this.

picky is relative.
i've worked with ARIN, RIPE and most recently APNIC.
while they all have their oddnesses, generally i have found the delays are
more so with teh applicant, not the registry.
getting an allocation from RIPE was easiy enough. getting my clients (and
their clients) to make reasonable requests was a whole different story.
(RIPE gives you a block, but makes you justify every assignment before
you can activate the subnet).
i have found that once you follow the application/submission procedures, and
your requests are realistic, there generally are no problems.
my experience with ARIN has been limited, but again, once you followed the
procedures, and filled in all the paperwork, things happened.
your mileage may vary.
