Frankly, I have no idea what the real reason is. But I can see two
speculative possibilites:

1) They killed Kennedy, and have been getting payoffs ever since.

2) Perhaps, since the Internet is rapidly growing in Asia, and since 1/4 of
the worlds population lives there, they have been given enough address
space to bring much of that population online.

Presumably, a private company doesn't have to report how much taxes is pays
or doesn't pay.

Why does a private company like APNIC, set up in an off-shore haven
like the Seychelles, and operating out of Tokyo, with apparently no taxes
being paid to Japan[2], be allowed to obtain additional IPv4 address space
with apparently no justification and an admission of poor record keeping
while U.S. ISPs and other companies around the world are put through
the ringer for a few IPv4 addresses ?
