Summary
WPPI Energy
business enterprise infrastructure
The netname stacks a city code, a truncated customer name, the carrier's network name and the word for the thing itself.
What it's used for
- A municipal electric utility group's network. 256 addresses in one IPv4 prefix,
208.73.95.0/24, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The block is netname
MDTNWI-WPPIENER-TDSNET-NETBLK, registrantWPPIENERGY. - All three sampled addresses answered as
h208-73-95-64.mdtnwi.dedicated.static.tds.netand similar. - The same six-character location code appears in both the netname and the reverse names.
- First seen in the routing archive on 2005-11-20, an actual date rather than the archive's start.
- The AS number is held under the group's former corporate name.
Interesting
- Four fields concatenated with hyphens is a carrier's provisioning system writing its own filing reference into a public registry. Location, customer, network and record type, in that order, and the customer name cut to eight characters mid-word.
- The reverse names add two more labels of the same kind:
dedicatedandstaticdescribe the service tier, so the DNS advertises what was bought as well as where it lives. - A wholesale power group joins municipal utilities that each own their own poles and meters. A single /24 with two upstreams is the shared office that coordinates them, not the grid.

Reputation
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: 453 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
