Hello All, This is a shout out to Softlayer Network Admin / Policy folks... We just went thru a painful process to find out that Softlayer has recently decided to block Cuba IP Address Space....(on their cloud services). I am not a politician, nor any kind of a policy expert, However I have a questions for the SoftLayer folks... On What basis, legal requirement, logic, have they taken on the responsibility to implement such a Block ? Considering the fact that such a block was just put in place about a week ago ? Last time I checked, blocking any part of the world is not part of any legal requirements on any Global Service Provider ? other than a 'company policy' ? Also, the Last time I checked the US Cuba relations are getting better not worse! Would love to know what was the reasoning behind such action ! Thank you. Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom
