Summary

Special Communication Organization

Pakistan · AI-generated

telecom residential business pakistan

SNET-AS-AP is the AS handle for Special Communication Organization, a Pakistani telecommunications provider.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries both corporate and third-party traffic, evidenced by netnames SNET-PK and WORLDCALL and reverse DNS entries like 118-107-139-254.snet.net.pk and wtl.worldcall.net.pk.
  • With 6912 IPv4 addresses announced across 5 prefixes and only 2 observed neighbours, the ratio indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • Registrants do not fully align with the announcer; while Special Communication Organization holds the largest blocks, WORLDCALL TELECOM LIMITED is the registrant for three of the five announced IPv4 prefixes.
  • The address inventory is split between the primary holder and Worldcall Telecom, suggesting a relationship such as a subsidiary, partnership, or leased space arrangement.
  • The AS has been visible in routing tables since 2002, indicating a long-standing presence in the Pakistani internet infrastructure.

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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
