   Hi,

   All our experiences consulting our clients about how to get their AS 
and Subnets have been pretty easy and fast.

   First get enought IP from 2 Peer to justify at least a /21;

   Now that you have 2 Peer, request the AS and a Subnet from ARIN;

   Take a day or 2 to prepare the paperwork;

   Submit it in the right sequence to ARIN;

   And LISTEN to your ARIN rep, they know how the procedure must be 
done and will help your get it done correctly.

   Simple really.
