Summary
NetUSE AG
hosting legacy
NETUSE is the network of NetUSE AG, an IT services and hosting company headquartered in Kiel, northern Germany. It is one of the long-standing names in the German internet industry, and the AS peers openly at DE-CIX in Frankfurt and WORK-IX in Hamburg.
What it's used for
Managed IT, hosting and connectivity for German business customers. The announced inventory is around 140,000 addresses, dominated by two legacy /16s (149.214.0.0/16 and 149.215.0.0/16) plus a scatter of older /24s and a /19 — the address footprint of a provider that has been assigning space to customers for a long time.
Notable
Server and service space, not eyeball space. The open peering policy (peering@netuse.de) and IXP presence mark it as an operator that carries its own traffic rather than an end-site buying transit.
Interesting
The two 149.x /16s are classic pre-CIDR Class B allocations. Holdings like these are why an operator of NetUSE's size can announce far more addresses than a modern company of comparable revenue would ever be allocated today.
