Fiber optic network in Amman!

This is amazing, who would like to have a fiber optic cable connection in his house? Well I’d love to have a 20Mb connection at home and use it for HDTV, VoIP and browsing.

In 1999, when I was a student in Amman, I read an article in a Jordanian newspaper that there was a plan to build a fiber optic network all over Amman within 10 years, it made me laugh hard. Anyway, here it is! What will it be used for, how much would it cost etc. is the question, lets just wait and see.

This month at toot we have good news and bad news, lets start with the good news.
Wael, toot’s designer, just had his first baby girl, Joon. She is cute, don’t you think?
The bad news is that Jad, our geek at toot, had to go into surgery for his dislocated shoulder, the poor guy will have to stay at home tied for 5 weeks! (or maybe he’s lucky :p)

Mabrouk Wael and Salamat Jad.
