It's sort relevant though. Because of the insane amount of spam
that originates in Asia some companies are deciding to just block
the entire 202.0.0.0 class allocated to Asia. Unfortuantely, the
Internet is not so simple anymore and many non-Asian companies that
use Asian-based ISPs have had IPs from this 202.0.0.0 network
allocated to them. For example, suse.com is entirely on the 202
network and it's happened a couple of times that an ISP blocked the
whole class A to cut down on spam and blocked us as well.
