Summary
Greeneville Energy Authority
isp telecom infrastructure
A municipal power utility announcing a full sixteen-bit block, under one netname, through one neighbour.
What it's used for
- A city-owned utility's broadband network. 74,752 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes plus one IPv6 prefix,
2607:5640::/32, with one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The bulk is
70.145.0.0/16; the rest are161.115.32.0/20,50.20.240.0/21,208.69.88.0/21and199.188.28.0/22. - Every block that resolved carries the same netname,
GEA-29, registered toGreeneville Energy Authority. - The AS handle is
GEA-CONNECT. - Fifteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The registry lookup for
161.115.32.0/20failed.
Interesting
- Utilities that already own poles and conduit have the expensive half of a broadband network before they start, which is why a power authority ends up holding a sixteen-bit block. The address space is the cheap part.
- One netname across four separate blocks, with a number rather than a description after the initials, is a single organisation filing the same way every time. Compared with the ISPs around it in this range, the registry here says almost nothing, and says it consistently.
- One neighbour means the whole network reaches the internet through a single provider. For a municipal utility that is a purchasing decision as much as a routing one.
- Nothing answers a reverse lookup across any of it, so an address here carries no city, no line type and no customer.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
