We have a need for a 128k circuit between the PAIX (SF Bay area) and a US-friendly persian gulf country for a customer application. Sending email to various global telco providers' standard sales aliases and talking to the local bell has been a non-starter so far. I am sure some of you have interesting stories, useful contacts and advise for navigating through what looks like a lengthy and complicated process. I will appreciate your private replies. Thanks in advance. I will be happy to summarize replies if there is interest. I know this is only semi applicable to this list. Any recommendations on network operators' mailing lists outside of the North American continent that one could subscribe to for more regional issues?
