Yes. I have used whois or jwhois.  I guess just by looking at
64.71.255.198 I can't tell much, but have to use whois to find out more.
I was wondering if say, all Broadcast companies are grouped as
64.70.xxx.xxx to 64.90.xxx.xxx or some such scheme -- but I guess not.
Not much point to it, on thinking about it.
