Er - yes. That's why I said "later". > and the cause of the small allocation was techno-colonialiasm > by telco. Is a techno-colonialiasm the end result of some sort of musical/military fetish? On reflection I think I was wrong about the /26 anyway. It would have been much less. The first Internet-like connection into Vietnam, around 1992, was dialup links from the Australian National University and basically just carried email. It was probably just a few end-point addresses. By the time there was anything properly Internetty into Vietnam it was the late 90s.
