I assume you mean 102/8, and because it is right next to 101/8, which they already have. Doesn't make a nice /7, but there are no other unallocated blocks that are next to any APNIC blocks. > My suspicion is that IANA is playing a game of battleship with the > RIRs and thursday we'll see who's won.

Just kinda fun to think about :-) -Randy
