MR.PASHA,
AoA,
PLEASE SEND TO
MR. NAEEM HAQ THE MINUTES OF MEETING PREPARED BY MR.JAMAL NASIR KHAN AND COPY OF
PRESENTATION OF PTCL- ON STM-1 FOR HIS PERUSAL.
BHUTTA
Dear All ,
While the honourable minister is still working hard
to get the promised STM-1 connectivity , PTCL has changed design , providers
and has mislead everyone including ISPs. EIther PTCL people are too clever
and have successfully mislead the entire IT community , or they are too
ignorant and are playing in the hands of Singtel . In
any case , some action has to be taken to either
rectify the situation and / or prevent this from happening again .
Here is the latest :
A
recent Press Release Stated :
"Mr. Zahir Muhammad Khan, Director
General Information Technology Training and Research (ITT&R) disclosed
this, on Friday.
He said, this bandwidth
would be connected with QWEST at
USA. Partial restoration through 34 Mbit/s on satellite will be available in
due course of time. IP connectivity will be provided to ISPs at US$ 15000
per E1 per month and US$ 6000 per E1 per month for software exporters and
educational Institutions he added."
In the meeting which was held in the last week of
May , the PTCL team assured us a round trip delay of 200ms , plus reiterated
that Singtel is just providing the physical layer connectivity and will not
be a hop in the IP network . Addtionally , it was stated that Qwest would be
providing the Internet backbone .
2
Months Later ... this is happened :
a)
The round trip delay times to PTCL nodes are greater than 350 ms .. to the
ISP these will translate to nearly 400 ms if not more .
b)
Singtel / Genuity ( Old BBN ) are the IP Providers in this case ... not
QWEST as promised .
Anyone can run a trace and find out whats going on
.... I think its time that the Minister should be informed as well .
Someine should investigate into this matter , as
quite frankly we all have been mislead .
Naeem Haq
