Summary
Nate Communications
enterprise legacy
Autonomous System 4792 (NATECOMMS-AS-KR) is operated by **Nate Communications
Corporation, the Seoul company behind the long-running Nate** web portal.
What it's used for
- Hosting and serving the Nate portal and its associated web, mail and media properties, plus the company's own corporate infrastructure.
Notable
- This is a content/portal operator's network rather than a consumer ISP: the addresses front web services (portal pages, mail, image and news hosts) instead of terminating subscriber lines.
Interesting
- The company was founded in 1999 as Lycos Korea and spent two decades as SK Communications, the SK Telecom subsidiary that ran Nate and the social network Cyworld. It was sold on and renamed Nate Communications in 2025, and the APNIC registration for this AS was updated to match.
