[ISOC Lebanon]

Hi Sander an d all,

As mentioned by Sander all international connections must go through the
incumbent telco in Lebanon, and they don't do IPv6 yet and don't seem to be
concerned by that. So all the ISPs that do IPv6 have to do it in a
restricted manner with tunnels to HE, OCCAID, etc.

I believe that transparency helps. i.e. publishing facts is the least one
can do to recognize those who worked hard and facilitated the IPv6
deployment in their environment and expose those who are still hindering
and/or blocking such deployment. 

Best regards,
Nabil.

I know in Lebanon it involves political games. I'm not sure that any
pressure from the technical community would help there...

I'm including Nabil in the CC. He knows :-) Sander
