That last photo is what makes me doubt it... 2 satellite dishes on that building?

oh yeah... I'm sure DirectTV is a really popular option in Baghdad

:blink:

Boneprone hit it.

actually thats how they get their news and Al Jazeera in that part of the world
they probably have more sat dishes than any US city

this was one of the first booming businesses in Afghanistan when the taliban was pushed out. there is no national infrastructure for TV, so they rely on satellite channels. there was a news program about it once and showed them making satellite dishs out of everything they could.

Did not know that... I would not have thought that with the general mindset over there, that they would embrace such "imperialist western" technology to that degree... (other than using it against the US).

Amazing how that happens.

The guys in Afganistan were making dishes out of old pepsi cans. They could get their own show on TV - MONSTER AFGAN HOUSE!!

I vote legit.

I know of one webmaster living in the Dominican Republic, and a few in Thailand and a couple in Brazil. They all have T1 connections -- forget DSL -- where they live. Yeah, strange, but true.
