Shifts in AS210837's registry records, RPKI state, prefix announcements, upstream relationships, or website availability serve as concrete indicators of operational continuity or market stress in northern Iraq's fragile internet infrastructure. Because of its thin public documentation, even small changes can alter dependency maps and signal broader connectivity developments.

ROYA Communications and Internet Services Company Ltd. trades as Roaea NET, providing internet access in Mosul, Iraq, through AS210837 and a single /24 IPv4 prefix. The operator interconnects at European facilities in Frankfurt, Istanbul, and Sofia. Public evidence is limited to RIPE NCC registries, PeeringDB, BGP monitoring platforms, and a basic website; no beneficial ownership, management, or financial data is publicly available. The profile is a registry-based watchpoint: changes to prefix announcements, upstream peerings, registry records, or the website would signal operational shifts in an under-documented market. Key uncertainties include the relationship between the registered name and the trading brand, the completeness of upstream relationships, and the absence of historical routing data.

ROYA Communications and Internet Services Company Ltd. sells internet access in Nineveh, Iraq, through a single-ASN, single-prefix network interconnected at European facilities.
What It Does
Service offering: The company provides retail internet access and local networking services to customers in Mosul and surrounding areas, according to its website.
Infrastructure model: It operates its own autonomous system (AS210837) and allocates a /24 IPv4 block to serve end users, relying on upstream transit and peering at exchange points in Frankfurt, Istanbul, and Sofia.
Revenue: No public financial data exists; the business model is inferred from its ISP profile and typical market practices.
Operating Snapshot
Autonomous System: AS210837, registered with RIPE NCC since August 2021.
IP resources: Announces the IPv4 prefix 193.30.241.0/24, with a total of 256 addresses.
Interconnection: Declared upstreams include AS200697, AS212890, AS202354, AS50597, AS59458, and AS203735. Presence at Equinix FR5 Frankfurt, MedNautilus Istanbul, and TELEPOINT Sofia Centre. Traffic volume approximately 5–10 Gbps, balanced.
Geographic scope: Service area: Nineveh province, Iraq, with international connectivity through Europe.
Control Surface
Registry control: RIPE aut-num AS210837, organisation ORG-RI63-RIPE, and the route-set AS-ROYA-ISP define the network’s public numbering posture.
Monitoring and reachability: A public route server (r.roya-isp.com) and looking glass (lg.roya-isp.com) provide visibility into the network’s routing state.
Online presence: The website roya-isp.com acts as the public face, offering service information and support channels.
Watchpoints
Registry staleness: Last-modified dates (2023 for ASN, 2026 for organisation) may indicate low maintenance activity; any update could signal a change in control.
Prefix expansion or withdrawal: The network currently uses one prefix. Any change in announced prefixes would directly affect the operator’s service capacity and routing footprint.
Upstream reconfiguration: Shifts in the declared upstream ASes or the appearance of new peers would alter dependency relationships for this and neighboring networks.
Brand divergence: The mismatch between the legal name and the trading brand (Roaea NET) could point to a complex or informal corporate structure.

Why tracked: Shifts in AS210837's registry records, RPKI state, prefix announcements, upstream relationships, or website availability serve as concrete indicators of operational continuity or market stress in northern Iraq's fragile internet infrastructure. Because of its thin public documentation, even small changes can alter dependency maps and signal broader connectivity developments.
Object role: The company operates AS210837 as a retail internet provider in the Nineveh region of Iraq, with a single announced IPv4 prefix (193.30.241.0/24) and upstream peering arranged through European exchange points. It publicly presents its service as Roaea NET and maintains a basic online presence that includes a customer website, a route server, and a looking glass.
Impact note: The ISP's significance lies in its position as a single-ASN, single-prefix access provider in a post-conflict region. Any observable infrastructure change—such as a withdrawn prefix, a new upstream AS, or a dormant registry object—provides a concrete watchpoint for analysts tracking the resilience and evolution of internet connectivity in Mosul and the surrounding area.
