(you might see why i used that as a source.)

and according to afrinic whois:

inetnum:      196.0.0.0 - 196.0.255.255
netname:      UGANDA-TELECOM-01
descr:        Uganda Telecom
country:      UG

unless i still dont understand what these /8  /16 things mean, i would think 
196.0.* means anything that starts with 196.0. which is the same as 196.0.0.0 
untill 196.0.255.255 (yes, its a bit rough, because this is a stringcompare 
and it could theoratically mean 196.0.eb.reinier would also be valid.)
