Yes, these are just part of reasons...

- Since there is no policy for so-called NLA allocation,
   ISPs having a /35 are allocating some spaces to tier-2 ISPs
   (their customer ISPs) with their own policy, 
   being afraid of possibility APNIC will not allocate 
   more addresses to them due to inefficient use which future
   policy will define.

- I just know one case APNIC is asking a /35 requester 
   of a CATV operator why they will assign /48, 
   not multiple /64s to a household which has more 
   than one subnets. It might be against the RFC but 
   nothing wrong under the current provisional policy
   which says nothing about this.

- 100 sTLAs have already been allocated, but still it's unclear
   about when the bootstrap period will finish. 
   ISPs wanting a /35 are very confused about this.
   Actually they are wondering if they should 
   start joining 6bone project 6 months before they raise 
   a /35 request or if they had better wait for the end of 
   bootstrapping phase and apply under the normal condition.
   Of course, they would be happiest if the new concrete and 
   complete policy were decided.

I hope this will help you understand our urgent needs.
Thanks.
