Summary
City of Williamstown
isp telecom government
The town's name is misspelled the same way on two separate registry records, and the reverse zone has five kinds of address pool.
What it's used for
- A municipal cable system's network. 3,072 addresses across nine IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Five blocks carry the netname
WKYBB; three are registered toWilliamstown Cableand two toWillamstown Cable, missing a letter. - Three blocks are registered to
ZCorum, a vendor, under the netnameZCORUM. - Nine of eighteen sampled addresses answered, with names including
cpe-1125.wkybb.net,wirepool1-127.wkybb.net,cablepool5-128.wkybb.net,pool3-126.wkybb.netandcpepool-190.wkybb.net.
Interesting
- A dropped letter in a town name, repeated on two filings, is one typo made once and then copied. The second record was created by looking at the first, which is how a single slip becomes the official spelling of half a network.
- Five naming schemes in one reverse zone track how the town's system grew. Some names mark customer equipment, some mark the pool the address came from, and two distinguish wireless subscribers from cable ones. Each was added when a new kind of service arrived, and none of the old ones were tidied up.
- A vendor holding three of the nine blocks is the small-operator arrangement: the town owns the wires and buys the operational side, including address space, from a company that does this for hundreds of systems.
- A city running its own cable network is a political decision as much as a technical one, and the registry preserves both halves of it.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
