Etisacrap outweaseled

The French train ticket saga hopefully today draws to a positive conclusion, went to a friend's place in Media city and using their fast, proxy free, service was able to instantly book the ticket, this does however raise a question..
Surely Media city don't have their own subsea cables? I don't know a huge amount about this but it would stand to reason that they all share infrastructure, if this is the case etisacrap are probably lying again and the problem may have something to do with their censorship proxy (not used in media city).
Speculation is rife that this may be more to do with getting rid of peer to peer, purveyors of porn dodgy software and more importantly Skype the Etisalat busting VOIP application that has had their profits (made from extorting expats who phone home) tumbling.
We await developments.
Sunday Times day today, this is a great service to get a full Sunday Times on sale in the UAE on Monday lunchtime, quite a feat especially since all have to be read and any "rude" images blacked out with a censor pen, makes for an interesting read and doubtless a happy camper working in some hanger who gets to scribble on women's bottoms all day.

Tecom and DIC/DMC have had no issues with Internet connectivity because they have a proper Service Level Agreement with the companies that supply international connectivity.

Simple as that.

So, when a cable goes down, Etisalat traffic drops to the bottom of the pile as whilst the bandwidth suppliers make use of their redundant capacity to supply the customers who had the intelligence to purchase some insurance in the form of a decent SLA.
