If you're interested in becoming your own ISP (obtaining your own ASN, IPv6 and IPv4 scopes), you'll need to apply via APNIC, as I did in the US with ARIN. Here is an example:
Would if I could - but here in AU you have to log all metadata for two years if you are an ISP.

I might be able to get a 20/20Mbs fibre for AU$250 - Just waiting to find out if they have data caps or not.
