About this network

Four spellings of the operator's own name, a school system's block, and one registrant recorded only as a private customer.

What it's used for

• A Caribbean territory's broadband operator. 56,832 addresses across 45 IPv4 prefixes, with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced. Every block is attributed to the Virgin Islands.

Notable

• The operator's own blocks appear as VI-POWERNET, VIPO and VIPOWERNET, all registered to VI POWERNET, LLC.
• 66.185.32.0/20 carries CHOICE-COMMUNICATIONS, and 104.192.184.0/22 carries VIYA-WIRELESS-DHCP1, registered to Choice Communications, LLC.
• 67.211.240.0/20 carries ETAN-VIDE, registered to Virgin Islands Department of Education.
• 162.247.24.0/21 carries CHOICE-STT-162-24WIMAX, with the registrant given as Private Customer.
• Three of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name, all under wireless.viyavi.com.

Interesting

• Private Customer is the registry's way of recording that someone asked not to be named. The block, its size and its operator are all public; only the identity is withheld, which is a narrower kind of privacy than it sounds.
• Three spellings of one company across its own records, plus a fourth brand in the DNS. Nobody reconciles netnames, so each block keeps whichever form was current when it was filed.
• A territory's education department announcing through the same AS as its commercial ISP is what happens on small islands: there is one network, and everyone is on it.
