Summary
Owensboro Municipal Utilities
isp government infrastructure
A misspelling of the word municipal survives in three separate registry records.
What it's used for
- A municipal utility's internet network. 14,336 addresses across 14 IPv4 prefixes, five observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Six blocks including
161.115.192.0/20and184.154.224.0/21register toOwensboro Municipal Utilitiesunder the netnameOMU-1. 63.147.92.0/22,63.238.104.0/23,208.47.90.0/23and208.47.92.0/23register toCKY Owensboro Municiple.216.135.48.0/22uses the netnameOWENSBORO-MUNICIPAL-UTILITIES-REALLOCATION.70.159.112.0/23usesBLS-70-159-112-0-23-1007272112, and its registrant readsOwensboro Municipal Utilities - OWB LAN.- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
Municipleis a typo, and it appears in four blocks' records because the string was copied forward rather than retyped. Registry data propagates by duplication, so a single mistake at the first assignment outlives everyone who made it.- Two different blocks share the netname
QWEST-208-47-90, which names only the first of them. The second was carved from adjacent space and inherited the label unchanged. - The
BLS-netname packs a carrier code, the full prefix in dotted-then-hyphenated form, the prefix length, and a ten-digit number that reads as a timestamp. Everything needed to reconstruct when the assignment was made is sitting in the name. - A city-owned electricity utility running its own AS number and fourteen thousand addresses is municipal broadband. The same organisation that maintains the poles is selling what hangs on them.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-15, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
