About this network

NDMPL-AS-AP belongs to News Digital Media Pty Limited, the online arm of News Corp's Australian publishing business — the company behind news.com.au and the digital editions of its mastheads.

What it's used for

• Corporate and publishing infrastructure for News Corp Australia's digital properties. Reverse DNS across the range resolves under news.com.au, and the registered contacts are the group's own network admins.
• A publisher's network, not a service provider: no subscriber pools, no customer assignments.

Notable

• Announces essentially all of 165.69.0.0/16 — a full Class B, about 65,000 addresses, held by a single media company. That is a large footprint for an enterprise and reflects an era when a /16 was an ordinary ask.
• Consistent ip-165-69-x-x.news.com.au style reverse DNS across the block is what settles the identity: the space is used by the parent group, whatever the registered subsidiary name says.

Interesting

• The registrant name is a fossil. News Digital Media was the branding for News Limited's online division; the mastheads and the address space long outlived the org chart that named the AS.
