What do you mean? Address space has been assigned by ARIN:

> whois -h whois.arin.net 24.128
Continental Cablevision - North East (NETBLK-CVSN-CCNE) CVSN-CCNE
                                                   24.128.0.0 - 24.128.255.255

But that's not the whole 24/8. Assignments appear to be in pieces.
192.in-addr.arpa has not been delegated, either.

There appear to be registered nameservers for some blocks. And just now:

Server: starship.av8.com
Address: 198.3.136.10

IN-ADDR.ARPA
        origin = A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
        mail addr = hostmaster.INTERNIC.NET
        serial = 1999010400

But 128.24.in-addr.arpa is being delegated. It appears to be a lame
delegation, though.

have you also tried whois.ripe.net for other netnumber blocks?

just go to the smart whois at www.geektools.com. It checks them all
automagically...
