AS11168 SCC
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Smart Choice Communications, LLC
isp enterprise legacy
SCC is held by Smart Choice Communications, LLC of West 45th Street, New York. SmartChoice is a business-focused voice carrier and ISP: hosted PBX and UCaaS (including Microsoft Teams voice), SIP trunking, SD-WAN, and dedicated internet into commercial buildings, mostly in the New York metro and its later Florida offices.
What it's used for
Serving business customers, not consumers and not other networks. RIS sees 20 IPv4 prefixes / 12,544 addresses and no IPv6, reached through just 3 observed neighbours. The combination matters: a mid-sized address pool behind only three upstreams describes a service provider that terminates customers on its own edge, whereas a wholesale carrier with this much space would be peering with dozens or hundreds of ASes. The fragmentation into many /23s and /24s is the classic shape of a CLEC that accumulated small assignments market by market.
Notable
The registrant column reads oddly at first — most prefixes are LVLT-SCC-235-* networks inside Level 3's legacy 8.0.0.0/8 — but the SCC-235 embedded in those names is SmartChoice's own ARIN org handle, and the two larger blocks (66.117.112.0/20, 162.221.16.0/21) are registered directly to it. Carrier-parented network names with the customer's own org handle are a reassignment, not a third-party lease, so the inventory is consistent with the holder.
Interesting
The ASN is registered to the same org handle that appears throughout the address space, which is what lets a scattered-looking Level 3-derived footprint be read confidently as one operator's rather than as brokered space.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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 1,783 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.
