Summary
Mercantile Communications (Mercantile Office Systems)
isp legacy
MOS-NP is Mercantile Office Systems in Kathmandu, the ISP business known today
as Mercantile Communications Pvt. Ltd.
What it's used for
- Internet access and business connectivity in Nepal: fibre and wireless broadband, VSAT, MPLS/VPN links for corporate customers, plus web and email hosting and data-centre services.
Notable
- Mercantile is credited with bringing the first internet service to Nepal in the mid-1990s, starting from a dial-up and email link out of Kathmandu. The APNIC record still carries a 1995-era contact remark, matching that period.
- The routed footprint is small, a few thousand addresses, which is typical for a Nepali ISP where most customers sit behind carrier-grade NAT.
