[outages] Syria off the net

[Sven Olaf Kamphuis]

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 ;)
