The IANA released 1.0.0.0/8 to APNIC, and APNIC subsequently sold parts of it to China Telecom. I deduct this because neighboring IP ranges (https://stat.ripe.net/1.1.0.0#tabId=at-a-glance https://stat.ripe.net/1.1.0.0#tabId=at-a-glance and https://stat.ripe.net/1.1.2.0#tabId=at-a-glance https://stat.ripe.net/1.1.2.0#tabId=at-a-glance) belong to China Telecom. So 1.1.1.0 likely did too. I think the whois information may have reflected the China Telecom ownership before it was updated.
APNIC-LABS is probably just a joint partner in that Cloudflare resolver project.

For a long time address ranges like these were left unused because it wasn't worth anybody's time handling the problems but since IPv4 is now full we may as well do what we can with them. So China Telecom will never have been given 1.1.1.0/24
- bogomipz 9y agoIndeed, and there was always great worry about how polluted that IP space might be. I posted this link elsewhere: https://www.merit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/1.0.0.08.pdf https://www.merit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/1.0.0.08.pd...
- mrb 9y agoVery insightful slides. I was wrong about 1.1.1.0/8
