About this network

Cotelcam is an Argentine telephone cooperative providing telephony and internet access to its member community.

What it's used for

• Residential and business internet. Sampled addresses answer under cotelcam.net.ar with names like host254.200-61-245.cotelcam.net.ar, a subscriber access pattern.

Notable

• The address space comes from two different sources. Blocks in 200.59, 200.61, 143.0 and 170.84 are LACNIC allocations held by Cotelcam itself, registered with a Sector IP contact. The blocks in 38.0.0.0/8 carry COTELCAM-CGNT-NET netnames — provider space assigned by Cogent.
• 21,500 addresses over nine prefixes with eight observed BGP neighbours. Small, but with more interconnection than a pure access network of this size would need.

Interesting

• Argentina's telephone cooperatives are a distinctive piece of the country's infrastructure: member-owned organisations that wired towns the national carriers did not, and that later became the local ISP by the same logic. Mixing its own LACNIC allocation with space borrowed from an international transit provider is what growth looks like for one of them — the original blocks were never going to be enough, and going back to the registry is harder than taking more from an upstream.
