Second that, what's wrong with NTT? 250mbit fiber for a fraction of what it would cost in the US. IPv6 ready. Basically no down time in 5 years. Very polite service staff. Sure, if you look at how they design their websites, signup pro

Even if that would be true (that US supported that coup), would the democratically elected Mohamed Morsi have promoted science education in Egypt? The Muslim Brotherhood's history of science education doesn't seem so rosy. I am cu
