Summary
Ålands Telekommunikation Ab (Alcom)
isp legacy
ALCOM is Ålands Telekommunikation Ab, trading as Alcom — the telecommunications
operator for the Åland Islands, the Swedish-speaking autonomous region of Finland.
Its NOC sits in Mariehamn.
What it's used for
- Broadband, TV, and telephony services for households and businesses across the Åland archipelago.
- Around 40,000 IPv4 addresses, distributed to subscribers rather than held for hosting.
Notable
- An eyeball network for a small island region: the address space geolocates almost entirely to Åland, which makes this ASN a clean proxy for "internet users in Åland".
- Alcom maintains an open peering posture, publishing peering contacts and a PeeringDB entry in its aut-num remarks — unusual diligence for an operator of this size.
Interesting
- Åland's separate telecom operator, distinct from mainland Finnish carriers, reflects the islands' autonomous status; the network boundary here follows a political one.
