I'm not sure of the Internet or telecommunication > situation on other islands. I have two clients in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. There was quite a lot of damage in the area. Most roads are still closed because of down trees. Electrical power in most of the area is still out and they expect the power to be out for at least 15 more days. The Santo Domingo airport had quite a bit of damaged. Most of the windows blew out and some hardware in the control tower was damaged. Telephone service was disrupted in many areas, but most people in Santo Domingo still have phone services. The two largest internet providers are operational and running on generators. It looks like all capacity into the country is operational. ><> Nathan Stratton Telecom & ISP Consulting www.robotics.net [email protected] -- "No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength." - Psalm 33:16 > -- > Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO > Affiliation given for identification not representation
