Summary
Television Technical Center Ostankino
enterprise broadcast legacy
ASN-TCO is the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Television Technical Center Ostankino" — the state-owned operator of the Ostankino broadcast complex in Moscow, the studio and transmission plant that Russia's national television channels are produced and played out from.
What it's used for
- The broadcaster's own corporate and production networking. Every sampled address resolves inside
ostankino.ru, using generic per-address reverse names (IP-ADDR.ostankino.ru). There is no subscriber, DSL or dynamic-pool naming anywhere in the space.
Notable
- A single announced prefix,
212.12.64.0/20(~4,096 addresses of it visible in BGP), and just one observed neighbour. This is a single-homed end-site network, not a service provider — despite the size of the organisation behind it. - Classified by what the space carries, not who holds it. The holder is a state enterprise, but the addresses are an in-house broadcast facility's corporate IT, so this is filed as a business network rather than a government one.
- Visible in BGP since 2000, an early Russian legacy allocation.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
