[WSIS CS-Plenary] Control of communications in Tunisia - not enough bandwidth, or something worse...

[Robert Guerra]

I'm curious if anyone has been able to determine the reasons behind 
the internet access issues at the Prepcom.

I ask, as at the march informal meeting - all went well, and 
connectivity was good enough to not only be on  IM, but also have 
Voice over IP working (i had voice over iChat working on my mac).

The simple, and obvious reply would be one of inadequate bandwith for 
the amount of people - but, is it that simple ? Given Tunisia's well 
documented  record of internet censorship - might it be that internet 
access has been made difficult on purpose so that real time 
communications be hard, if not impossible.  it would be consistent 
with known practice....


something to think about -

regards

Robert
