Unclassified ARIN
Summary
PCCW Global (formerly Beyond The Network America)
transit legacy
BTN-TWO — originally Beyond The Network America, Inc. (BTN), a US network operator that became part of PCCW Global. The ASN is now registered to PCCW Global (HK) Ltd. and appears in APNIC's registry after an inter-RIR transfer.
What it's used for
- Carries PCCW Global network space, including the legacy BTN
65.72.0.0/16block that moved to APNIC with the ASN, and European prefixes registered to PCCW Global Europe — one of which is named for a mobility/IoT platform in Ashburn, Virginia. - Announces both IPv4 and IPv6, but a modest footprint compared with PCCW Global's main backbone AS.
Notable
- A carrier network rather than an eyeball or hosting one: the address space supports PCCW Global's own platforms and downstreams, and the historic
AS-BTN-CUSTOMERSobject still records the BTN customer cone. - A neat example of an ASN outliving two corporate identities and crossing RIRs along the way.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-25, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
