Unclassified ARIN
Summary

isp hosting telecom
The handle is a registry placeholder, and the reverse names claim a dozen other providers.
What it's used for
- A provider's network. Eighteen IPv4 prefixes and seventeen sixth-version prefixes announced from the United States, seven thousand six hundred and eighty addresses, through sixty-six observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle is not a name. It is the registry's placeholder text for a number held in reserve, dashes included, sitting on an autonomous system that announces thirty-five prefixes.
- Netnames name upstreams rather than purposes: two carriers appear by brand, one block is marked as portable space, one as a data centre with a four-digit number, and one is named for support of both protocol versions at once.
- One block's registrant is a different company followed by a role account.
- Fifteen of eighteen queried addresses answered, and the names belong to consumer providers on three continents: cable, telephone and mobile brands, and one large hardware maker's corporate domain.
- Every one of those names embeds the address it answers for.
Interesting
- Reverse names are set by whoever controls the zone for the addresses, so names shaped like a dozen unrelated providers on one holder's space means the zone is being generated to imitate them rather than to describe anything here.
- A reserved-text handle beside sixty-six neighbours is the sharpest contrast in the record: the registry believes this number is unused, and the routing table shows it very much in use.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
