Unfortunately there are some in the U.S. that do block all APNIC space, mainly due to the amount of spam originating from China and Korea.
This is really strange since all the figures I have seen suggest that most of the spam originates in the US. They don't see this, of course because US address space is smeared over the whole address space, where as APNIC address space is concentrated in just a few /8s. I can remember a few years ago when every school in Korea has a hacked linux box that was being used to attack everyone else that several US companies blocked 210.0.0.0/7.
Personally, I think putting Florida into its own address range and null routing it would have a far greater impact on the global spam levels :-)
