I'm kinda fearing this in South Africa, as we have a few large incumbents who aren't really driving -NG versions of protocols.
They also have a "prove to us it's broken, and we may look at it in a few months' time"-attitude towards it. :O
So 32-bit ASNs and IPv6 equally aren't really being driven, apart from by a few key Academic players.
Just my ZAR 0.02 -H. On 2010/12/20 14:43, bill manning wrote:

Dear Colleagues, According to the "IANA Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)" - http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/AFPUB-2008-ASN-001.htm , IANA will cease to make any distinction between 16 and 32-bit only ASN blocks on 31 December 2010 when making allocations to RIRs. After this date, the RIRs will assign AS Numbers from an undifferentiated 32-bit ASN allocation pool. Consequently, for any entity requesting an ASN, AfriNIC will cease to present the ability to opt for a 16- or 32-bit ASN, and will start issuing ASNs from a common 32-bit pool. We therefore urge all IP network operators to ensure that their routing infrastructure is 32-bit ASN compatible. Kind regards, Ernest Byaruhanga. _______________________________________________ announce mailing list announce () afrinic net https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/announce
