Summary
Cozad Telephone Company
isp legacy
COZAD-TELEPHONE-COMPANY is Cozad Telephone Company, a locally owned independent telco established in 1902 that serves the city of Cozad and the surrounding rural area in central Nebraska with fibre internet, telephone and TV.
What it's used for
Subscriber access. RIS sees two prefixes — 96.47.96.0/20 and 199.27.192.0/22, 5,120 addresses together — behind two observed neighbours. The reverse DNS settles what the space carries: every sampled PTR is a generated per-address name under a dynamic. label, which is how an ILEC names customer pools. A handful of neighbours against a few thousand addresses is an eyeball network, not a carrier.
Notable
Both blocks are registered to Cozad Telephone Company, so the inventory is entirely self-held. The interesting wrinkle is that the two blocks wear different rDNS domains: the /20 answers under cozadtel.net, the company's own domain, while the /22's PTRs sit under nttne.com — a Nebraska Technology & Telecommunications name. The registrant is Cozad in both cases, so this is not third-party space; it is one operator's addresses being labelled with an affiliated Nebraska carrier brand.
Interesting
That split is a useful lesson in reading rDNS. The PTR domain describes what the space carries and which platform serves it, never who holds it — here the registry and the hostnames disagree about the brand while agreeing completely about the function, which is dynamic customer access.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
