AS4658 — M2012LIMITED-AS 2012 Limited Netfront

AS4658 announces 3 IPv4 prefixes covering 9,728 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

M2012LIMITED-AS is operated by 2012 Limited, the company that took over the IP business of Netfront Information Technology Limited — a Hong Kong ISP that began offering internet access in 1996.

What it's used for

• Internet access, hosting, email, and web services for Hong Kong residential and corporate customers, still under the Netfront name.
• A modest address footprint (both IPv4 and IPv6) announced from Hong Kong.

Notable

• The AS number dates from Netfront's founding era, when Hong Kong's ISP market was young; the corporate wrapper changed through an acquisition restructuring but the network and the brand carried on.
• A good example of why you should never read a network's operator from the AS name alone: the registry says "2012 Limited", the customers say "Netfront".
