More information here, read section 1.9: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asn-assignment.html
In summary: RIPE NCC will assign 4-Byte AS Numbers according to the following timeline: * From 1 January 2007 the RIPE NCC will process applications that specifically request 4-byte only AS Numbers and assign such AS Numbers as requested by the applicant. In the absence of any specific request for a 4-byte only AS Number, a 2-byte only AS Number will be assigned by the RIPE NCC. * From 1 January 2009 the RIPE NCC will process applications that specifically request 2-byte only AS Numbers and assign such AS Numbers as requested by the applicant. In the absence of any specific request for a 2-byte only AS Number, a 4-byte only AS Number will be assigned by the RIPE NCC. * From 1 January 2010 the RIPE NCC will cease to make any distinction between 2-byte only AS Numbers and 4-byte only AS Numbers, and will operate AS Number assignments from an undifferentiated 4- byte AS Number allocation pool. Cheers, Mark.
