About this network

MOS-NP is Mercantile Office Systems in Kathmandu, the ISP business known today as Mercantile Communications Pvt. Ltd.

What it's used for

• Internet access and business connectivity in Nepal: fibre and wireless broadband, VSAT, MPLS/VPN links for corporate customers, plus web and email hosting and data-centre services.

Notable

• Mercantile is credited with bringing the first internet service to Nepal in the mid-1990s, starting from a dial-up and email link out of Kathmandu. The APNIC record still carries a 1995-era contact remark, matching that period.
• The routed footprint is small, a few thousand addresses, which is typical for a Nepali ISP where most customers sit behind carrier-grade NAT.
