Before anyone tell me I know it's not the place for discussion, so it would be my only mail about it :) but if you know colleague, worker, friend family or whoever those info can be useful feel free to transmit to them if you ever get a way to reach them, like those using satellite phone.
I don't manage those link, so I can't guarantee they still work, but they have been activate for the isolate people of Syria.. and I also know even land line have been shut at many place so it could be hard to use.. but maybe it could be useful for someone here..

for your info, the only decent transit pop for most the midddle east seems to be turkey and the rest of them simply have wires going to turkey, which can be blown up, cut in half, hit by a bomb, you name it.
so the 'terrorist' story is more likely than it seems.
however, if they're not interested in offers for getting their somewhat limited internet back up to its normal somewhat limited state, then we know enough, don't we :P (ie: then they're lying about the terrorists)
(quite sure the payment would be the least of the issues ;)
just send them an invoice for a bunch of brand new mercedes zetrosses plus satellite uplink set plus routing equipment and its fine.
has anyone tried contacting their embassy, as when it really were terrorists, they would probably be more than interested in getting some alternative links... a few 622mbit radio links or sattelite transponders would already suffice. (too bad for the 12 second rtt but at least it works ;)
or are we the only ones to have trucks for that purpose :P (just how to get them there remains the question ;)

We received a voice call via satellite phone approximately 2 hours ago from an engineer in country. Although the claim is that "terrorists" destroyed the Internet and cellular connections, we're all aware the type of concerted effort required to disconnect an entire country is likely something only a sovereign government would be capable of doing. Our engineer is working to get out of the country as government violence has significantly escalated.
