Qatar - small country with a huge problem

Posted in All on January 13th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Qatar is a country I know nothing about. And whenever I hear the name of a country that I know nothing about, the first thing I want to know is if they have Internet connectivity over there. It appears, that I should have be more careful with my Internet criteria evaluation - via via TechCrunch:

Qatar has a single ISP, Qtel, with a single IP address shared by the entire country.

So, the fact that there is Internet connectivity today does not necessarily imply that there will be Internet connectivity tomorrow…

    It was funny news when Wiki blocked Qatar from accessing it. :-)

    I just wish to never be in the situation, where my IP is shared by the entire country. No matter how small it is. :)
