Hi,

IIRC (I was running APNIC at the time), when the first organization from Vietnam approached APNIC for address space, we 
allocated a /22 to them and reserved the /16 from which that  allocation was made for other ISPs in Vietnam (as was the 
policy back then).

That's the big difference - IPv6 has been designed to provide abundant
address space.

There is no amount of fixed address space that can't be consumed with stupid allocation policies.
