Summary
2012 Limited / Netfront
isp legacy
M2012LIMITED-AS is operated by 2012 Limited, the company that took over the IP
business of Netfront Information Technology Limited — a Hong Kong ISP that began
offering internet access in 1996.
What it's used for
- Internet access, hosting, email, and web services for Hong Kong residential and corporate customers, still under the Netfront name.
- A modest address footprint (both IPv4 and IPv6) announced from Hong Kong.
Notable
- The AS number dates from Netfront's founding era, when Hong Kong's ISP market was young; the corporate wrapper changed through an acquisition restructuring but the network and the brand carried on.
- A good example of why you should never read a network's operator from the AS name alone: the registry says "2012 Limited", the customers say "Netfront".
