Summary
Richland-Grant Telephone Cooperative
isp telecom business
A telephone cooperative announcing IPv6 and no IPv4 at all.
What it's used for
- A rural telephone cooperative's network. One IPv6 prefix,
2602:fa24::/40, no IPv4 announced, and one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The IPv4 inventory is empty, which is unusual enough to be worth stating plainly.
- The registry lookup for the prefix failed, so nothing here describes who holds it.
- No addresses were sampled for reverse DNS, because there were no IPv4 addresses to sample.
Interesting
- Almost every network announcing IPv6 announces IPv4 alongside it, because the older protocol is where the customers and the destinations still are. An AS carrying only the newer one is either at the very start of building something or is announcing its subscriber space through a different number entirely.
- A
/40is a substantial IPv6 allocation, large enough to give every subscriber a network of their own with room left over. A rural cooperative holding that much is the ordinary result of registries sizing IPv6 by organisation rather than by demand. - Cooperatives of this kind own their lines because no commercial carrier would build them. The same reasoning tends to produce an AS number early and address space held directly.

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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
