Summary
A1 Makedonija
telecom isp mobile
Eight blocks are named after a new operator that stopped being new twenty years ago.
What it's used for
- A national operator's network. Twenty-nine prefixes announced from North Macedonia, one of them IPv6, eighty-seven thousand five hundred and fifty-two addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The AS handle is a four-letter brand and then this network's own autonomous system number, so the label restates the thing it labels.
- Eight blocks share a netname scheme: a country code, a compound word meaning a new operator, and a full date. The dates run across eleven years and the word stayed.
- Three more blocks break that scheme, naming the current brand or an older one alongside the word for the network, with no date at all.
- Every registrant field names a role object rather than a company. On most blocks the company follows it; on the newer-scheme blocks the role object stands alone.
- Three of eighteen queried addresses answered, all on a fourth brand's domain, with a four-letter prefix and the address hyphenated behind it. Two of the three are block boundaries.
- One observed upstream carries the whole network.
Interesting
- Four brands in one record, in the handle, the netnames, the exceptions and the reverse zone, is the sediment of a telecoms market that consolidated. Nothing was renamed; things were added on top.
- A netname meaning new operator is a joke that only registry entries can make, because only they last long enough for the adjective to expire.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
