Summary
Telemedia
telecom satellite broadcast business
Telemedia-AS is operated by Telemedia (PTY) Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries telecommunications and broadcast infrastructure, evidenced by the reverse DNS record
test.telemedia.co.zaand the registrant netnameORG-TL8-AFRINIC. - The AS announces 1024 IPv4 addresses within a single /22 prefix and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 22 observed neighbours; this ratio of modest address inventory to high peering density indicates a transit or network service provider role rather than a large access network.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant
Telemedia (PTY) Ltdmatches the AS holder, confirming direct ownership of the announced space. - Telemedia is a South African telecommunications and broadcast solutions provider offering satellite, fiber, and streaming services, including high-speed satellite internet powered by OneWeb.
- The inventory consists of a single contiguous IPv4 block and one IPv6 prefix, representing a compact corporate 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: 453 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
