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. 

Maldives

  We found two hosts in Maldives, (the traceroute results showed that the second last hop was through Itlay). The site has been added to the PingER Guthrie

database.Latter on we came to know by Guarab that Maldives just got connected through SMW4 as a result of colloboration between Dhiraagu and Telecom

Italia Sparkle. This is an interesting report on Maldives Internet Connectivity  www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/cs/maldives/material/CS_MDV_part3.pdf 

Here is a press release from Telecom Italia Sparkle http://www.telecomitaliasparkle.com/press_info/press_info_index/event17.htm

Nepal

A presentation about the internet connectivity in Nepal can be found  here

 MOSAIC The Global Diffusion of the  Internet Project
