Good morning fellow relay operators,
I am interested in reaching out to the ISPs in underutilized ASNs to share their acceptance for exit nodes with the relay operator community so that interested parties can set up nodes with those ISPs as they are able. Previously I seem to recall being able to use Atlas to search for fewest exit nodes per both ASN and country but am currently unable to reproduce that functionality in Tor Metrics, Onionoo, or Globe.
So before I invest the time in such a project, would there be interest from the relay community in receiving such information?

For a long while, I've thought about creating reports based on unused ASNs and then deduce providers from there.
I think it's a great idea, particularly for those in a position to shop around for providers by ASN.
You might see what nusenu has on this, but you could also clone the TDP stats scripts and start from there. You'd need the full list of ASNs to diff versus current ASNs in use by Tor public nodes.

Glad you raised this issue...

One could assume say over half of all AS or their downstream do provide some form of hosting service, thus look them all up and spam their admin contact with both boilerplate tor promotional and include a request to their sales / down team for proposal / quote or referral for same.
