Providing transit to unallocated networks

Thanks for this, it shows as

apnic|ZZ|ipv4|103.***.***.0|1024|20160927|reserved||e-stats

I expect this still stands with it being reserved?

William, it's 100% an apnic range and shows no org and is registered
to the APNIC Hostmaster. This applies for both the ASN and the address
space.
