Has The Internet Outage In The Middle East Affect You?
 
Guys,

Bob from XBIZ here with a question for the webmaster community:

Has the Internet outage in the middle east affected you or your business in any way?

So far the consensus is no, but there's so much outsourcing that goes to India -- I wanted to see if anyone in the adult biz maybe hasn't been able to communicate with a designer, or (less likely) if anyone here has lost any business or adult traffic.

I'll be checking in on this thread, or you can e-mail me directly at bob [at] xbiz [dot] com.

Thanks in advance!

First i have heard of the outage but why would a middle east outage effect communication with someone in India?

Hey slapass, the outage hit India and Iran by the looks of it. I'd offer links, but I can't post links until I get to 30 posts.

I have an employee in India and he has been online every day Bob. Feel free to paste your links in and I will link them for you :)

Would Japan route thru there?

Hey Ben, thanks for the info!

Unfortunately, it won't let me even paste in a raw URL.

Bad Dog, I don't believe Japan was affected.

From the AP story:

Quote:

In all, users in India, Pakistan, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain were affected. Engineers in several countries were scrambling to reroute traffic to satellites and to other cables.

Ben, can you hit me up on ICQ? I'd at least like to mention that you had an employee who wasn't affected.
