Summary
Aspan Telecom
isp enterprise legacy
Aspan Telecom LLP (ASPAN-AS) — an internet provider in Almaty, Kazakhstan, operating from Shevchenko Street with roughly 6,000 IPv4 addresses. Small, single-city, and connected through Kazakh upstreams rather than peering directly.
What it's used for
- Last-mile internet access in the Almaty region. The company's own material and customer accounts describe wireless radio-channel links and dedicated connectivity, which points at business and organisational customers rather than a mass-market broadband product.
- The address space is three blocks: a legacy RIPE
/20in217.11.64.0/20registered to the company in Kazakhstan, a later RIPE/22, and an ARIN/22it acquired outright — all three registered directly to Aspan Telecom LLP under its own maintainer.
Notable
- There is no reverse DNS anywhere in the AS. Not one of the 27 announced prefixes has a delegation, so there is no independent evidence of what the space actually carries: no subscriber pools, no named servers, nothing. The classification here rests on the company's stated business, not on the network.
- Scattered blocks across two RIRs with no rDNS is also the silhouette of an address broker, but it does not apply here: every prefix is registered to Aspan itself, with its own maintainer and contacts, rather than to unrelated third parties.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-11-01, 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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
