Re: We lost a new Frame Relay @ Rafah

[Ahmed Abumarzouq <ahmed@p-i-s.com>]

Dear All,

        

First of
all, PITA Board, ISPs and many other individuals have been working around
the clock for the past week to come up with a strategy. I send our draft
strategy to Dr. Abdel Rahman and he replied back with three points that
he would like to see in the Draft. These point were added with some
modification to the strategy, In our board meeting this Saturday we will
discuss this draft and after the approval it will be sent back to Dr.
abdel Rahman and after Paltel  approval we will announce a public
workshop with Paltel and all the ISPs to discuss the new strategy in
public.  In my opinion we are making progress on an issue that has
been lingering there for three years now.

        

My second
point, having a public forum to exchange ideas without a draft strategy
that we all agree to is non sense we have done that tens of time in
Paltel HQ in Nabuls and in the Grand Park hotel in Ramallah, nothing
happened, just talk, so we are not going to do it again unless we have a
general understanding and basic agreement on these issues and we can work
the minor details later.

        

Finally, 
I hope by the next week we will have a mutually agreed upon strategy that
will be beneficial to both of us. If you would like to address all the
ISPs in Palestine just post to 
isps@pita-palestine.org and to address the board of PITA post to
pita@pita-palestine.org and we will post it for you. Take care and thanks
for listening
