You, and the community, may find these two AS number use reports
helpful.
The first, http://www.potaroo.net/tools/asn16/ looks at the levels of
consumption of the 16 bit AS number space and makes some predications,
based on curve fitting to recent usage data, as to the anticipated
lifetime of this number pool.
The second, http://www.potaroo.net/tools/asn32/ looks at the entirety
of the 32 bit AS number pool.

Subject: Status of the 16-bit AS Number space
Dear IESG,
This is to let you know what we now have fewer than 10 blocks of 16-
bit AS Numbers left in the IANA free pool.
Yesterday we allocated two blocks of 1,024 AS Numbers to ARIN, as
per the Global Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks to Regional
Internet Registries, which was ratified by the ICANN board in July
last year.

>http://www.icann.org/en/general/global-policy-asn-blocks-31jul08-en.htm
The unallocated 16-bit AS Number space is now 54272-64511. The full
registry can be viewed at:
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/as-numbers.xml>http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/as-numbers.xml
We agreed to notify the IESG when we got to this point in the AS
Numbers registry. Please let me know if you have any questions or
comments.
Kind regards,
Michelle Cotton
IANA
