Bhutan
In March 2005, NSRC donated a couple of routers, a switch, and some wireless APS for the first incarnation of the RUB network. And Steve Huter
has been working some with the main engineer doing the network design, deploy, etc. for the university network. In close collaboration with his good friend,
Gaurab Upadhaya, who is part of this planning group, NSRC collaborated with SANOG (www.sanog.org) to organize and teach in a couple of the first tech
workshops held in Bhutan for local networkers, including some participation from the education sector.

He also paid a visited to Bhutan in November and the situation there is relatively simple. There had been a number of colleges spread throughout the country
and afew years ago they were assimilated into the new Royal University of Bhutan (RUB). The university is building a RUBWAN, a fiber network linking all the
constituent colleges. There is also a fiber link to India from Bhutan, so they are relatively quite advanced. The hub of the network will be in a new Vice
Chancellor's building in Thimphu, the capital, which is the planning stage.
