LTT’s VOIP Service Via Wimax which have been protested by LTT Engineers will be available for the public so soon, as they are now installing the system and re-assembling Wimax antennas which explains the slowness of Wimax network “Sometimes little Bits per second”, until then this could be a rumor.

For some reason Youtube is not accessible from Libya, some people said it’s banned but we heard from an engineer in LTT company that they are assembling a Youtube caching server to make browsing youtube faster for Libyan users.
Sooner or later Youtube will be back, until the content they are blocking youtube for get deleted, or until they assemble the caching server.
By this blockage Google inc. “GOOG” which is the owner of Youtube.com is losing money from advertisements Libyan users was viewing and clicking.
By the way, it’s not necessarily that LTT is blocking Youtube, Youtube might be filtering and banning Libyan users.

Croatian phone numbers in serial have been calling Al-Madar numbers randomly and I don’t know about Libyana, so many people got calls “Just one ring” from at least 2 numbers in serial, and no answer when you call one of the numbers back, I personally got calls from numbers like these:
+385 XX XXX X89
+385 XX XXX X90
+385 XX XXX X91

We think that this is an automated system (Crawl numbers from the web, Call in them in serial), or it could be just a coincidence, this theory is built on people  who got called randomly, We did try reverse lookup, phonebooks and all with no use, if you did notice, heard or got called too please comment it out, if not also post your opinion.

If this means anything it’s that when we put our phone numbers online we don’t take security as a concern and if we got called without posting numbers, it’s not hard to build up a list out of one number, it’s already in serial.

As you all know that www.bit.ly used by twitter to make URL’s shorter is registered in Libya, also other services started using it for the benefit of what’s called domain hacks “Means playing with words no hacking involved”.
Twitter users specially from the United States have been using bit.ly for so long and now they are surprized, they just found out that LY stands for Libya and they don’t want to use it anymore, the reason is because they are supporting Libya, we don’t know what they  means by the word “Support” but it should be the media creating a buzz that will end with bit.ly and LY domains winning the un-started fight.

Our beloved reader Khadija asked and here we answer, Libyamax currently have 3 kinds of Wimax routers, 1 with wireless and that’s “EchoLife” and 2 Zyxle routers with 4 lan ports.
if got one of Zyxle ones then there is 2 options for you to get wireless:

1. Go to LTT and get the EchoLife one for 220 LYD
2. Buy a D-Link access point for 155 LYD, plug to the Wimax router and enjoy wireless which we will describe here.

DNS server means “Domain Name Server” it’s a machine somewhere with a table that looks like this:
google.com 74.125.87.105
in the internet or any network no machine can join without having an address which in this case is the IP Address, Google main server’s IP address is 74.125.87.105 but it will be pain if you’re going to enter that on the address bar each time, that’s why they invented names, or domain names which ends with .com .net. org .ly and so on.
There is other benefits of domain names as you can change your server or rely on another but people will use the domain to find you what so ever IP you change to or server you go to.

Now I think you understand if you don’t already do, LTT have it’s own DNS servers which updated from the main world servers by the domain names organization ICANN, but these 2 servers aren’t quite fast and sometimes they goes off.

Here is a list of Public DNS servers which is fast, updates faster then others and most of all free.
