Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Modum Kabel-TV
isp telecom media
A cable television company announcing thirteen thousand addresses under a second brand it also owns.
What it's used for
- A cable operator turned provider. Three IPv4 prefixes announced from Norway, no IPv6, thirteen thousand three hundred and twelve addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The holder is the cable television company in capitals, ending in the two letters that mean a joint-stock company here and an autonomous system everywhere else on this page.
- The AS handle is a different brand plus the country name, then that brand again with its own legal form and the words autonomous system spelled out.
- All three netnames use a country code, that second brand and a date, and the dates are spread across sixteen years, one block roughly every eight.
- The administrative contact joins both company names with the local word for and, so the record names the pair explicitly rather than choosing between them.
- Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Cable operators were the first serious competition to telephone incumbents because the coaxial run to the living room was already there. The television name in the registry and the internet name in the routing are the same company at two stages of its life.
- Two brands kept in parallel for two decades is a decision, not an oversight. One sells television to households and the other sells connectivity, and the addresses belong to whichever one signed the form.

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 2026-10-14, 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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
