I don&#39;t think you need an ASN to delegate subnets if the hosting provider&#39;s ASN is acceptable.  I have an old Class-C (Grandfathered, no ARIN membership) and have hosted it at a couple of data centers under their ASNs.<br clear="all">

PS: perhaps I misunderstand Internet peering, but I don&#39;t see any<br>
need to get an ASN before delegating subnets.  It might be convenient<br>
but I don&#39;t think it&#39;s a prerequisite.  Perhaps someone knowledgeable<br>
could comment on this.<br>
