I didn=E2=80=99t recognize as2906 so went digging... and I can=E2=80=99t fin=
d a thing. ARIN has a =E2=80=9Cwho has=E2=80=9D service but my account on AR=
IN was locked and I wasn=E2=80=99t able to unlock without calling them (mayb=
e tomorrow).
The AS-Name is =E2=80=9CAS-SSI=E2=80=9D (there is an AS-Set listed on RIPE n=
amed this) which I suspect might lead to the original owner. It looks famili=
ar-ish but I=E2=80=99m not sure who had it before Netflix. Clearly they must=
have bought it outright, acquired the original owner, or something, but I=E2=
=80=99ll be damned if I can find historical data on who it originally belong=
ed to.
