If that was your only reason it would be a definite no, so strictly speaking it wouldn’t be allowed as it is not ham related, but I know folk do add on the occasional “other” service and as long as it is not doing anyone any harm…
I feel like this one is no different than hams rag-chewing about cars. Which seems totally reasonable.
But then, like most of these, what is and isn't going to be acceptable on the ham bands (in a particular country) and what is and isn't going to be acceptable to the holders of the 44-net address space may not entirely overlap.
My guess is that there will be plenty of things that you can use 44-net space for, but not on the ham bands in certain countries. But hopefully no cases where there's something permissible on the ham band that is prevented by the 44-net AUP.
