Core Entity Brief
| Entity | MYFI-AS Michaelston y Fedw Internet CIC |
|---|---|
| Public role | If the entity activates AS211678 and announces IP prefixes, it could introduce a new routing node in rural Wales, potentially offering local internet access and reducing reliance on larger providers. The possible Community Interest Company structure could protect it from commercial takeover, preserving a community orientation. Monitoring its dormancy provides early signal on rural connectivity initiatives in Wales. |

A dormant entity holding AS211678 with no active BGP announcements; its name suggests a Community Interest Company but this legal form is unverified.
What It Does
- Intended service: Likely intends to provide community internet in Michaelston-y-Fedw, Wales, but no services are launched.
- Revenue model: No evidence of a revenue model, customer base, or contracts exists. Any future operation would need to comply with possible CIC profit-reinvestment rules.
Operating Snapshot
- Legal status: Registered in the United Kingdom; the name includes 'CIC', implying possible Community Interest Company status (unverified).
- ASN holding: Holder of AS211678 per RIPE NCC, RDAP, and PeeringDB.
- Public footprint: No website, no announced IP prefixes, no active peering sessions or interconnection facilities in PeeringDB.
- Governance (if confirmed CIC): Subject to UK CIC regulations: assets locked for community benefit, limiting commercial acquisition.
Control Surface
- Registry contacts: Administrative and technical contacts in RDAP and PeeringDB can modify the ASN registration and originate BGP routes.
- Legal form (if confirmed): If the entity is a CIC, UK regulations restrict asset transfers and mandate community-purpose operations.
Watchpoints
- Record freshness: Stale or conflicting registry records could misrepresent the entity's status or control.
- Footprint change: New ASN, prefix, official website, PeeringDB, or registry evidence would raise or lower infrastructure relevance.
- CIC status verification: Confirmation or denial of Community Interest Company status via Companies House would clarify governance obligations.
