3. Private Address Space

   The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
   following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:

     10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255  (10/8 prefix)
     172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255  (172.16/12 prefix)
     192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

Someone has done an Apnic registration for rfc1918 private IP space.
What this has to do with solving spam problems is still a mystery to
me...unless someone is suggesting spammers (or perhaps all of Korea)
should be assigned non-routable IP space.
