Summary
MTN Côte d'Ivoire
mobile isp africa telecom
The AS handle MTNCI-AS is held by MTN Côte d'Ivoire.
What it's used for
- The address space carries mobile and fixed-line access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries like
host-102-136-191-254.afnet.netand the registrant netnameORG-MCDS1-AFRINIC. - With 846848 IPv4 addresses announced across 72 prefixes and only 12 observed neighbours, the high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates a large access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes, including 196.180.0.0/14 and 154.232.0.0/15, consistently list MTN COTE D'IVOIRE S.A, aligning with the AS announcer.
- MTN Côte d'Ivoire was established in 2005 when MTN International acquired the mobile license from Loteny Telecom.
- The inventory includes a mix of large blocks such as 196.180.0.0/14 and 154.232.0.0/15 alongside numerous smaller /16 and /17 prefixes, reflecting a segmented corporate and customer estate.

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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
