Summary
Pegaso PCS (Telefónica Movistar México)
mobile legacy
PEGASO PCS is the registered holder of the mobile network operated by
Telefónica México, which sells service under the Movistar brand. The
handle is a fossil of Pegaso PCS, the Mexican mobile operator Telefónica took
over in the early 2000s.
What it's used for
- Mobile (cellular) internet access for Movistar subscribers across Mexico — roughly 71k IPv4 addresses spread over 100+ prefixes.
- Reverse DNS confirms the operator: subscriber-style names under
optele.net(pc020.optele.net) alongside gateway names undertelefonica.net.mx.
Notable
- Mobile address space, not fixed broadband or hosting — the administrative and abuse contacts resolve to Telefónica Móviles México's IP-addressing team in Cuajimalpa, Mexico City.
- Do not read "Pegaso PCS" as an independent carrier today; the brand is long gone and only the registry handle survives.
Interesting
- The registry object still carries the pre-acquisition name more than two decades on, a common pattern where a merged carrier never bothered to rename its ASN.
