A unit within the University has need to get reliable network connectivity to Iraq, more specifically Baghdad. I was wondering if any nanogers have any recommendations and/or contacts with providers in the area. Wired or Wireless. Off-list is fine. TIA Robert D.

Robert, Check out Wataniya and Zain, the two are the regional wireless providers and in my experience, at least in Kuwait, they offer aircard service. The catch is that you have to have a local ID card (this was the rule in Kuwait, not sure of Iraq). You can get around this by buying the service from a shop who may agree to buy the card in his own name and resell to you. Best regards, Jeff On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 1:12 PM, Robert D.

Forwarded from Ryan Lackey:
satellite is the only good option in iraq still, if he really wants reliable. standard international scpc.
in kuwait you can buy a zain "ego2go" prepaid 3G, but most of the zain stores don't like to sell them. also, att/tmo have international blackberry roaming which works with edge, flatrate, and if you have a BES you can tether it.

Has anyone noticed any connectivity problems between Europe (Milan, London and Amsterdam) to Au (Melbourne). We have various carriers on Europe side including Level3, Telecity's IP transit and on Australia side we have Telstra, MCI and Primus. We have seen intermittent connectivity issues in 2 days in a row between all these carriers. Send me a mail off-list if you have any info on this. Cheers.

As a side job, I'm a consultant for a radio station in NC with a mobile SDN system; works great, very reliable, tolerable latency; a must, since this station, due to the terrain in the Appalachians, cannot easily use standard RPU's for many live remotes, and thus is using SDN satellite IP to carry audio and video streams from the site of the remote. Setup at the time this system was installed as a certified installer only thing; but the guy that did ours did it good. SDN has a good reputation from what I can find, too. Shades of SunBelt, Tim!
NewSkies' NSS703 is apparently intended to cover Turkey and Iraq especially well; www.talia.net and probably many others resell the service, or you can buy it directly (http://www.newskies.com/ipsyssolutions.htm). Perhaps you could say what kind of connectivity you need? As various people have pointed out, there are several GSM/UMTS operators, but this isn't a solution for a whole network there.

I've also had good luck with Skycasters (http://www.skycasters.com) but I'm not sure if their coverage extends to that part of the world.
