Well, I whois'd 702, got no match, said "hm, I see 701 all over the place, lemmy take a look" and found:
There is a match... I think "WHOIS as702" is erroneous WHOIS query syntax, typing "asXXXXX" not being the way to search for an AS number. See the full WHOIS help for the details about how to use all the flags, Try searching for the number and use an 'a' search type instead of searching for 'as702'. Try telnet whois.arin.net nicname Escape character is '^]'. a 702 "a 702" Gives a match... "as702" does not. "as701" does; probably because there is the "ASHANDLE" field or something else in the record that matches that query other than the AS number itself.
ASNumber: 701 - 705 ASName: UUNET
