Yes, but they run a bunch of other useful services for internet plumbers too. This would just be another "general good of the internet" service. RIPE for example run. Atlas: A cooperative service for internet reachability and measurements. - https://www.ripe.net/analyse/internet-measurements/ripe-atlas/ https://www.ripe.net/analyse/internet-measurements/ripe-atla... DNSMON: Monitor the root and TLD's and other key internet domains. Does so from many locations so as to test anycast issues. - https://dnsmon.ripe.net/ https://dnsmon.ripe.net/ RIPEStat / BGplay: Debug and examine internet reachability issues. - https://stat.ripe.net/ https://stat.ripe.net/ - https://stat.ripe.net/bgplay https://stat.ripe.net/bgplay And volunteer resources to help to run other things, like https://www.as112.net/ https://www.as112.net/ that sinks all the PTR lookups for RFC1918 that leaks to the internet, among other things.
