Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Servers in India for Wikipedia other Wiki projects

2013-03-31 Thread Anirudh Bhati
Hi, Srikanth

Yes, if the Wikimedia Foundation sets up servers in India they will have to
comply with local regulations, which is something they may not be too keen
on.  SEA-ME-WE 4 is a bottleneck for India and many other countries in the
region, and we can expect that the private players collaborating with
the maintenance of undersea infrastructure will also invest in building
redundancies so that a single cable outage does not adversely impact the
region.

Cheers,
Anirudh

 Can someone with legal knowledge like Anirudh clarify on this?

 Hi all,

 Hope you are aware of the slowing of Internet in India due to the cut in
 undersea cable near Egypt. I am finding websites hosted outside India
 opening very very slowly, or some don’t open at all. Websites hosted in
 India open quickly. Google has servers in India. Wikipedia opens very very
 slowly. This brings up the idea that there must be servers in India for
 Wikipedia and other Wiki projects.

 Thanks and regards,
