And like this short message about South Africa was highly useful for my country of residence, Lebanon, too. We are under full, quite severe lock-down, with fines, checkpoints and etc. Several ISPs here who kept NOC support (single person) near server room, in office - got fined too, as usual businesses, because there is no such regulation to allow them to run.
while i have visited, i claim zero understanding of your culture. but gossip from friends is that there is a larger than usual communication gap between the internet industry and government. and, as far as i have been told, it is not for a lack of effort. perhaps teh culture will learn how critical the net is and what it needs to be maintained. almost all our cultures have gaps; but some worse than others. we will all learn lessons in the coming many months of plague. i know an office which lost key engineers last year because they would not let them work remotely. now the entire company is working remotely, and successfully. randy
