i'm doing some consulting work for a cable operator in Pakistan.
while i'm guessing that realistically we will be approaching RIPE for address
space, i'm just wandering what happened to 24.0.0.0/8 and what policies
govern who and what can use the address space there.

Not quite sure why you'd want to use 24/8. It became a "normal" address
block a very long time ago . RFC3330 sez:
24.0.0.0/8 - This block was allocated in early 1996 for use in
provisioning IP service over cable television systems. Although the
IANA initially was involved in making assignments to cable operators,
this responsibility was transferred to American Registry for Internet
Numbers (ARIN) in May 2001. Addresses within this block are assigned
in the normal manner and should be treated as such.
So, it's just regular IP address space, available for assignment if you
live in ARIN-land.
Incidentally, Pakistan is serviced by APNIC, not RIPE:
