In an interview with Alarabiya channel Dr Saad Al Barrak said

د. سعد البراك: والله يعني الحمد لله أحنا مثلاً أول من قدم خدمة الشبكة الواحدة وهذا تطوير خدمي وتكنولوجي, خدمة الشبكة الواحدة بدون رومنك بدون تجوال وبدون رسوم الاتصال الدولي الباهظة المكلفة, ربطنا الآن 12 دولة أفريقية في شبكة واحدة, قريباًَ سنربط إن شاء الله العراق والأردن والسعودية والبحرين أيضاً في شبكة واحدة مربوطة مع الشبكات الأخرى

Dr Saad Al Barrak : well we thank Allah were the first to introduce 1 network and this is a technological improvement , the one network service without roaming without the expensive cost of international calls , we have connected 12 African countries in one network and soon we will connect Allah willing Iraq , jordan , Saudi and Bahrain in one network connected to other networks

And again they forget Kuwait where it all started , the funny thing ? Kuwaiti government OWN OVER 20% OF IT , so don’t tell me crap about them a global company and such

So I’m in Dubai right now , got couple of pictures i wanted to share but it seem flicker is banned over here
( so is craigslist )

i do like what it say at block site web page

We apologize the site you are attempting to visit has been blocked due to its content being inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates.

I can understand Religious and moral values ,, but cultural and political ?

Watched two movies here ( the cinema around here are cheaper than Kuwait and less noisy and they don’t cut ,, imagine that ! )

which bring out a dilemma , if they have no problem with showing movies and magazine and books , whats the problem with the internet ? its not as if i was browsing porn sites
( flicker / craigslist are banned right now , and a friend told me youtube was banned for a bit )

This was published in Alwatan daily in kuwait ( same people that seem to hate & attack blogs for some reason )

فريق متخصص شكلته الحكومة «لاعداد ضوابط رقابة على مستخدمي الانترنت ومؤسسي المواقع الالكترونية والمدوّنات السياسية»، يكون باكورة تشريع يتضمن عقوبات محددة تقر في مجلس الامة

A specialized team formed by the government for the preparation of checks and control over internet users and electronic sites and political blogs which would be the bases of a legislation with specified penalties to be set up by the parliament

The world is passing us and all what the government care about is what blogs are saying ?

China has tried before you and its failing , they had better technology , they had better knowledgeable manpower and had a bigger market ( good for pressure on companies like google / yahoo ) we don’t have any of that stop wasting your resources on things that wouldn’t imporve anything

Have you seen Kuwait TV ? wait i don’t think anyone watch it anymore even , i have visited many friends houses who do not have Kuwait channels on satalite even , have you seen Kuwait Radio ? worse shape even , go see those

oh and about the law , if there was any need to register i would not register and would contest the law in court god willing ( ان شاء الله)

The world is Watching , the ball in your court MOdI , lets see what you do with it

Where is my Internet !! DAMN YOU EGYPT

Leave a comment

yes Blame Egypt for it

Theregister

A spokesman for Flag Telecom, the owner of the severed cable, told the Reg: “It is a problem off the coast of Alexandria in Egypt. For some reason ships were asked to anchor in a different place to normal – 8.3km from the beach. One of the ship’s anchors cut our cable but there are multiple cuts – we’re not the only company having problems.”

He said they were in the process of getting a repair ship out to assess the damage but he warned the whole process could take 12 to 15 days even though the ship was in the Med. He said users in India would have a slower internet access as a result.

Flag is one of the major Bandwidth provider in this part of the world , and in Kuwait we depend on it a lot
so expect slow internet for a while

IF you know a Working Torrent Site KEEP IT TO YOUR SELF

Do not go around posting it on your blog , yes you may thing you are helping people but in reality you giveing hits to the censors at ministry of Communication

DO you know why Torrent sites and blocked from time to time ?

If you see a site blocked then back up don’t spread the word its back because someone risked his job and got it back

the MOC send a list every month asking for sites to be blocked , and they do read your blogs to get sites because they are blocking sites that have went down a month ago , but still send it because it was mentioned on blogs

So remember if a site return ( or not Return ) there is no need to tell everyone and their family , if a site magicaly returned
keep it to your self or friends you talk to ( not on blogs duh )
