From APNIC: http://www.apnic.net/publications/news/2011/delegation

From IANA: https://twitter.com/#!/theiana/status/32227138937561089
Also:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml

The last link shows 39/8 and 106/8 to APNIC.

For the moment, Wikipedia still shows net-39 and net-106 as unallocated.

Apparently, the /usr/bin/whois binary on my system won't even check
whois, I get:

2011-01-31 19:49:05 EST (Linux 2.6.35-25-generic)
<mbt at aloe> ~ $ whois 39.0.0.0
Unknown AS number or IP network. Please upgrade this program.

2011-01-31 19:49:06 EST (Linux 2.6.35-25-generic)
<mbt at aloe> ~ $ whois 106.0.0.0
Unknown AS number or IP network. Please upgrade this program.

IANA shows it in WHOIS:
http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/whois?q=39.0.0.0
http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/whois?q=106.0.0.0

So, just need to see what happens with the others, haven't seen them
yet.
