Summary
ET Net Limited
enterprise legacy
AS9906 (ETNET-HK-AP) is held by ET Net Limited (經濟通有限公司), a Hong Kong financial-information company and a member of the Hong Kong Economic Times (HKET) group. ET Net supplies real-time stock and derivatives quotations, market data feeds and financial news to Hong Kong banks, brokerages and retail investors, and runs the consumer portal at etnet.com.hk.
What it's used for
This is a market-data provider's own network, not an ISP. RIS sees just 12 IPv4 prefixes totalling 3,072 addresses, no IPv6, and a single observed BGP neighbour. Both numbers point the same way. A network of this size with exactly one upstream is an enterprise multihoming for its own service delivery, and one neighbour means it buys transit rather than selling it. Every announced prefix is a /24 and all twelve sit inside the same contiguous 202.62.192.0 – 202.62.223.255 block, so the deaggregation is internal segmentation of one APNIC allocation rather than an assembled inventory of unrelated space.
For a real-time quote vendor that segmentation makes sense. Feed distribution, the public web portal, the terminal product and the exchange-facing links are all different trust zones, and a /24 per zone is the natural granularity.
Notable
- ET Net's business is latency-sensitive market data, which is why a company of its size runs its own ASN at all rather than sitting behind a hosting provider.
- The name is a false friend for anyone scanning ASN lists:
ETNEThere is a financial-data firm, not a telecom or a national research network of a similar name elsewhere.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, 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: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
