Interesting

• September 1991 is the earliest date recorded in any netname across this range, and it sits on space from 153.x and 149.x, the old class B territory. Those blocks were assigned when the applicant wrote to a registry that trusted them to need it, and they have survived every subsequent tightening of policy simply by never being handed back.
• MEVACOM is a name the company no longer uses, yet it is carried on every allocation from the first to the last, twenty-five years apart. Filing a quarter-century of paperwork under a brand that predates the current one is the registry working as intended: the identifier stays stable precisely because it means nothing.
• Somebody typed the office address into the AS name field, which is meant for a short handle and is displayed by every tool that resolves AS numbers to names. The result is a postal address appearing in traceroute output worldwide.
