Summary
WorldLinx Telecommunications, Inc. (Bell Canada)
isp legacy
WorldLinx Telecommunications, Inc. (WORLDLINX-2), a Bell Canada subsidiary
registered in Ottawa, Ontario. Technical contact for the ASN is Bell's IP
administration.
What it's used for
- Carrying network connectivity for Bell's business and enterprise customers — reverse DNS across its prefixes lands on Canadian corporate domains.
- Roughly 210,000 IPv4 addresses spread over close to a hundred prefixes, the shape of a carrier handing blocks to many separate customer sites.
Notable
- Despite the size, this is not an eyeball network: the addresses sit in business customer networks reached through Bell, not in homes.
- WorldLinx was Bell Canada's unregulated arm for high-end business telecommunications — global interconnection, data services, and messaging.
Interesting
- The corporate brand has effectively vanished into Bell, but the registry record and the AS number survive. This is common at the bottom of the ASN space: the paperwork outlives the company name on the door.
