The 44/8 network is pre-ICANN (Postel).
Currently in order to get portable address space, you have to demonstrate you are
multi-homed and you have an ASN.
The organization "Amateur Radio Digital Communications" (see whois.arin.net)
already has 44/8. Anyone that has an ASN can announce this space in full or part as along
as this is blessed by the "owner". In fact, I announce /24s and /16 for folks
that got their address space also from Jon Postel (pre-ICANN).

You don't need a new ASN. Anyone with an ASN
can announce 44/8 space in part or full.
My understanding of the routing is that people who want a 44net delegation need to meet
ARIN/RIPE standards which does mean multihoming and a AS#. There is probably a way to
delegate to the ISP level where you'd then setup private BGP with your ISP. But as a
whole, it would seem that it would initially be outside the realm of many armchair network
operators with home based networks. Certainly you couldn't call up Comcast with your
home cable modem and say that you want to add a block of 44/8's to your account. I
think their AUP might come into the conversation. :-)
