Does any fiber run into Zimbabwe? Or is everything via satellite? There has to be a remaining uplink (albeit low-capacity) if nameservers within the country are still accessible. -brandon On 9/19/06, Peter Dambier <peter@peter-dambier.de> wrote:

Intelsat has shutdown the primary satellite link for Zimbabwe's state communications company for non-payment, which has affected most of the ISPs in the country.
I can't really blame them. I doubt the Internet is considered critical infrastructure over there yet, and I doubt Intelsat would care... but

is interesting in the sense that even if you can't fault intelsat in any way... Intelsat, Inmarsat, etc. run quite a bit, and if it's a "country" that gets disconnected, that is a problem even if it's not "their" problem.

The nameservers and internet sites can be seen here (europe) but they are slow.
