Geoff,
"Of the 32,557 assigned AS numbers, some 19,859 are advertised, while
12,698 have been allocated in the past, but are not currently advertised
in the BGP routing table."
I would have liked to see how well the RIRs are at recovering unused
ASNs, if at all. For example ARIN has a 30 day policy:

Do the RIRs *ever* revoke an ASN after the customer does not follow the
RIR stated rules? Would love to see numbers on that issue. No wonder the
ASN pool will expire in 2010.
