GE actually sold their entire 3.0.0.0/8 block off to AWS a few years ago.

It's a little awkward since a lot of internal software is still configured to whitelist all access from that space since it was a constant for so long.

We called this threxit internally. (Get it? Three dot exit? ;))

And as far as I know we haven’t stopped threxiting — at least they hadn’t when I left. It turns out unwinding IT systems that have had stable IP addresses for 30+ years in a year or two is tricky business.

I wonder what became of the Kodak block? Seems GE would find more use/investment for IP space than a failed film company (IIRC)...
