Summary
Northwest Open Access Network
isp telecom government
One reverse name embeds an address three apart from the one that answered it.
What it's used for
- An open-access network. Sixty-nine IPv4 prefixes and twenty-three IPv6 prefixes announced from the United States, fifty-seven thousand six hundred addresses, through fifty-five observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Most blocks are the holder's own, under netnames of the brand and a numbered block, with a contact that names itself a role account for naming and addressing.
- Others are registered to public utility districts and a county, each with its own role contacts for abuse, technicians and network operations.
- One netname runs to six parts, joining a sub-block marker, a county, a counter and an address in which one position holds a range of two values rather than a single one.
- Another belongs to a television association named for a town and a state, in capitals.
- Ten of eighteen queried addresses answered across five different domains, none of which is shared by any two blocks.
- One of those names embeds an address whose third part is three lower than the address that answered.
Interesting
- A reverse name carrying the wrong address is worse than no name at all: it looks authoritative and sends a reader to the wrong place. A generator wrote it once and nothing has compared the two since.
- Five domains, several counties and a fifty-five-way peering fabric is what open access means in practice: one network, many owners, and naming that was never going to converge.

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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
