Hi All...

March 16th 2022 - INTERNET Ukraine/Russia Update

[gleened from webhostingtalk.com]

Three weeks into the invasion of Ukraine, pressure continues to be mounted on
Russia to end their actions. Last week Cogent told its Russian customers it's
disconnected its high-capacity internet service, and others are taking similar
action since then with Lumen saying it was pulling the plug on Russia because
of an "increased security risk" and LINX (The London Internet Exchange)
disconnected Russian telecom companies Megafon and Rostelecom. Amazon
announced that it has stopped accepting new AWS customers From Russia and
Belarus, and the debate over the rights and wrongs of the Ukranian ICANN rep
requesting Russia be knocked off the Internet continues. In our Social Issues
section (where members come to vent) ninak, who's father's ancestors are
buried in the Ukraine, tells a personal story of a customer complaint, another
member asks how long the sanctions will last, and a thread asks if the Russian
regime will destroy all the Ukrainian data centers.

Ciao!
