Summary
RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana
enterprise media legacy
The Autonomous System of RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana S.p.A. (RAI-AS), Italy's national public-service broadcaster. RAI runs the country's main television and radio networks and is one of the largest broadcasters in Europe.
What it's used for
- RAI's own corporate and broadcast-support network: its public web and streaming front-ends, newsroom and production systems, regional offices and the connectivity behind its editorial operations.
- The two announced prefixes both sit in
212.162.64.0/18, and reverse DNS across them is uniformly RAI's own generated naming, of the formhost-NNN.NNN.162.212.rai.it. Nothing else appears in the block.
Notable
- Enterprise/broadcaster space, not eyeball or hosting. Addresses here belong to the broadcaster; RAI does not sell connectivity, and there are no subscriber pools. Treat any IP in the range as institutional.
- RAI is state-owned but is an ordinary company (S.p.A.) rather than a government agency, so this is corporate rather than government address space.
- A single contiguous /18 held directly by the organisation, with about 18 peers, is the classic profile of a large Italian institution that took its own AS early and never needed a second one.

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: 453 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. 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.
