yup, we have Indonesia Internet Exchange and this server in the heart of the IIX.. i believe 15 years ago, hongkong, singapore try to make bad thing to this country, they sell 2-4x more expensive so one of local ISP (indo.net) linking the ISP and create a local Internet, and called IIX now. and now.. all game server, local dotcom, implement on this IIX and the ISP give it free to anyone here, so we have dedicated free, no loop to global.. i believe got award, as the best backbone implementation in Asia Pasific (several years ago). last month, all our server move to the heart of the IIX, so all people will access faster because only 1 hop from ISPs . > > Has "edit local and then mass upload" really been a good model in the > past, I think I've heard of it in Georgia(?), Kibera, Gaza etc?
