[AusNOG] IPv4

Sun Mar 3 22:04:08 EST 2013

Because, like most people, he is thinking only about himself and how hard
done he is being done by.

I far more care about developing nations... look at India.  About 20
million internet users... and hoping to get to 100 million in the next two
years.  Users in China having to 're-connect' to try and get a real IP
address. How the hell are they going to make it happen?  But do you know
what... they WILL, and without too much whinging.

This is akin you you complaining you don't have enough to eat when people
are starving overseas.  Really? Get over yourself and suck it up princess.

You have SO much more potential and ability to come up with creative and
innovative solutions to deal with these situations compared to dozens of
other countries who are struggling with sub-standard infrastructure. You
can afford the equipment and expertise they can only dream of.

I have 7 engineers in Cambodia who work for me.  They live, learn and work
on Australia/Western quality networks. I've trained them up to be the best
engineers in the country. Under my direction, they also donate time in
Cambodia helping KHNOG get started, help ISOC-KH happen, involved in
Barcamps, do training for free at schools like Passerelles Numeriques (
http://www.passerellesnumeriques.org/cambodge/) who train orphans and the
poor into becoming engineers (I've hired 4 of them!).  I've shipped dozens
of peices of equipment to the country to donate to local Cisco training
schools and other places. I also allocate my staffs time to helping
engineers at all the ISPs in Cambodia get better at what they do - because
they very little options to learn how.

I HELP the developing world better its infrastructure... I've put my effort
and my money where my mouth is - What the hell do you do Jared? Or for that
matter, you Bevan, whose squillions could make a HUGE difference... or is
there things you've been doing that I don't know?  I don't have much, but I
give a lot... how many people here have a lot and don't even give a cent?!

SERIOUSLY?!
