It depends on if you already have IPv4, and how much, and when you
last got it. If you have none and can make a reasoned case, you can
get up to a /23 in APNIC. If you have some but haven't yet got your
final /8 you may qualify for up to a /23. If you already got your
final /23 you can't apply for more.

Open market is not the same as "has run out" -the conditionality on
who gets the small amounts which remain, do not mean nothing remains.
