You'll see 'abo' for 'cable', perhaps? as well as 'cable'. But for most


abo = short for "abonnement", that is, "subscription" / "subscriber"
Just means its a pool of IPs assigned to users, I guess.
What does the rest of the internet gain when all IPs have boilerplate reverse DNS setup for them, especialy with all these wildly differing and wacky naming "conventions"?

Isnt it a much simpler world where simply having rDNS lends the assumption of a supported "static" system as opposed to none?
