In that case Kazaks should be petition to introduce a legally binding SLA for network performance in order for companies to qualify for the license to operate.


I honestly can't tell if you're joking or just not very familiar with what's happening here. What companies? There are only two major ISPs here, one of which is considered a "natural monopoly" and operates almost all networking equipment which connects us to the outside world. Other ISPs route most or all of their traffic through the major one. Needless to say, they maintain a very close connection to law enforcement agencies and to the royal family itself.


I like how you used the phrase "the royal family".


I'm fully aware. I have a Kazak inlaw. I know it's futile but it would still be a statement.


You have a quaintly democratic notion of Kazakh society. :P

Kazakhstan is, by all accounts, an authoritarian regime. Petitioning the government would be futile at best.


Haha, what a first world solution to the problem.

Though I must ask: if you're going to petition the government to regulate carriers so that you can see government censorship, why not just ask the government to tell you when they're censoring you. Surely they will be just as helpful.
