AS10205 ONCC-AS-AP ON.CCHK LIMITED

ONCC-AS-AP belongs to ON.CC (HK) Limited, the company behind on.cc — the

flagship online news portal of Hong Kong's Oriental Press Group, publisher of

Oriental Daily News. Launched in 2000, on.cc is among the most-read news sites

in Hong Kong.

What it's used for

• The publisher's own internet presence: the news portal and its sister properties, the newsroom's editorial and publishing systems, and the origin servers that sit behind whatever caching or CDN fronts the public site.

Notable

This is a corporate/media enterprise AS, not a provider. RIS observes **3

announced IPv4 prefixes but only 512 unique addresses, no IPv6, and 1 observed

neighbour**. The three prefixes are not three blocks: they are 202.125.90.0/23

together with the two /24s carved out of it — a single /23 announced both as an

aggregate and as its component halves, which is how an operator steers or protects

a small block, and why the address total is 512 rather than 768.

A single observed neighbour is decisive on the kind. This AS buys transit and

sells none; it has no peering fabric, no downstream customers. A publisher runs

its own ASN for exactly one reason — so that a high-traffic, politically visible

news site keeps its addresses and its routing independent of any one Hong Kong

carrier.

Interesting

Media organisations of this size usually hide entirely behind a CDN and never

appear in BGP at all. Holding a legacy ASN and a legacy 202.125/16-era block is

a mark of how early on.cc was on the web: it took its own address space in the

first internet-news wave, and never gave it up.
