Summary
EMCALI (Empresas Municipales de Cali E.I.C.E. E.S.P.)
residential broadband dsl fiber municipal-utility cali
AS10299 is the internet network of EMCALI, the municipal utility of Santiago de Cali, Colombia. Founded in 1931 and wholly owned by the city, EMCALI supplies electricity, water and sewerage and telecommunications — it is the only Colombian operator that runs all four under one roof.
What it's used for
Consumer and small-business broadband in Cali and the surrounding Valle del Cauca municipalities (Yumbo, Jamundí, Puerto Tejada and parts of Candelaria and Palmira). The telecoms arm serves on the order of 600,000 customers with fixed telephony, internet and, increasingly, fibre.
Notable
Municipally owned, but this is an eyeball network, not a government one — the distinction matters because the holder's legal name (Empresas Municipales de Cali E.I.C.E. E.S.P.) reads like a city agency. The reverse DNS settles it: every sampled address across every block resolves as dsl-emcali-<ip>.emcali.net.co — dsl-emcali-190.1.224.5, dsl-emcali-186.27.176.5, dsl-emcali-200.29.112.5. Subscriber-access naming, applied uniformly, in the operator's own zone. City hall's own offices would not be numbered like that.
Routing agrees. RIS observes 59 IPv4 prefixes carrying 82,432 addresses plus 2 IPv6 prefixes (2800:950::/32, 2803:3d60:100::/40), against just 7 BGP neighbours. A large, densely populated address pool reached through a handful of upstreams is an access provider; a carrier of the same size would show neighbours in the hundreds.
Interesting
The IPv4 space is unusually clean for Latin America — long runs of contiguous /20s out of 190.1, 190.99, 186.27 and 200.29 — reflecting LACNIC-era allocations made directly to a single large incumbent rather than assembled from the transfer market.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-19, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
