"and is presumably responsible for the allocation of subnets" ?
I am half way down (up?) a rabbit hole due to chasing ownership of IPV4 addresses.
I can take a known address and use WHOIS to find out the current owner,
and the range that it is part of.
However back in the day the Class A networks were handed out like sweeties
to early adopters, but have mainly been clawed back now.
I have found a very useful Wikipedia page which lists a lot of original owners, but this doesn't fully tie in with what I think I know.
I always thought that BT (formerly Post Office) owned at least 2 Class A networks at one time.
So is there an interactive tool which shows who owns the Class A (and is presumably responsible for the allocation of subnets)?
