Summary

What the registry record establishes

RIPE registry records mirrored by third-party services attach the as-name TERRATELECOM-AS to AS48019 under organisation ORG-TL307-RIPE, named Terra-Telecom LLC, country Ukraine, with registry number 37606103 and a registered address in Boyarka. https://whois.ipip.net/AS48019 The allocation date in those mirrors is given as 1 October 2008, with a last-update field of 11 October 2018. https://ipinfo.io/AS48019 Because these are mirrors rather than a live RIPE database query in this research, the record should be read as evidence of what the mirrored registry objects state, not as proof of the current allocation status.

Routing footprint

Independent BGP collector views and route-object mirrors consistently show AS48019 originating exactly two IPv4 prefixes: 91.207.66.0/23, whose route object is labelled "Terra-Telecom route" (created 30 December 2009), and 194.105.136.0/23, labelled "Terra-Telecom leased" (created 7 May 2015). https://rtsak.com/en/as-numbers/AS48019 No IPv6 routes are observed for the network. https://bgp.he.net/AS48019 One mirror of RIPE RPKI objects records a valid ROA for 91.207.66.0/23 with origin AS48019. http://iad.robtex.com/as/AS48019.html

The topology is minimal: one observed upstream, AS43139 Maximum-Net LLC in Ukraine, and no downstream networks; the autonomous system appears in the AS-sets AS-MAXIMUM and AS-EMPLOT. https://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/as-report?as=AS48019&view=2.0 That single-upstream shape is typical of a small access ISP buying wholesale transit rather than peering on its own account.

Who is behind the network

The Ukrainian corporate registry record for EDRPOU 37606103 corresponds to TERRA-TELEKOM, LLC, registered on 22 April 2011, with a legal address in Boiarka (Kyiv region), activities including cable television, OTT TV and internet connection, a listed director (Lesiv Dmytro Olehovych) and three employees. https://www.ua-region.com.ua/en/37606103 This matches the registry number embedded in the RIPE organisation object, and an address inside 194.105.136.0/23 geolocates to Boyarka on AS48019, consistent with the registered location. https://ipinfo.io/194.105.137.127

The operator's own contract page states that the legal entity ТОВ «ТЕРРА-ТЕЛЕКОМ» provides services under the MaximumNet brand, that the service trademark is owned by ТОВ «МАКСИМУМ-НЕТ» (Maximum-Net LLC), and that the company is entered in Ukraine's register of telecom operators and providers under No. 2274 per NCCIR decision No. 463 of 8 September 2011. https://maximuma.net/contract-tv/ These are self-reported statements by the operator; the brand-and-trademark separation between the two related legal entities matches the topology finding that Maximum-Net LLC is also the network's upstream. https://maximuma.net/contract-tv/

The identity collision

AS26573 is a different network entirely: collector and registry mirrors give it the as-name NY-DC, attribute it to Luxoft USA Inc under ARIN, record its allocation on 26 January 2018, and show it originating only 8.11.228.0/24 with Level 3 as an upstream. https://bgp.he.net/AS26573 https://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/as-report?as=AS26573&view=2.0 https://ipgeolocation.io/browse/asn/AS26573 Nothing in the retained evidence ties AS26573 to the TERRATELECOM-AS name. Its value to this briefing is methodological: where a directory label and an ASN are joined without independent registry verification, the join can silently point at the wrong operator, wrong country and wrong market.

What this does not establish

Nothing in the retained sources evidences customers, revenue, market share, holdings beyond the two /23 blocks, or any registry currency after the 11 October 2018 update field. https://ipinfo.io/AS48019 Whether any party other than Terra-Telecom LLC claims the TERRATELECOM-AS name is unresolved; the AS26573 case illustrates generic collision risk, not a documented competing claimant. No market-position claim beyond the observable footprint is supportable.
