Global Skype Blackout Continues!
From the Blog ProPakistani: Global Skype Blackout Continues! - Global Skype Blackout Continues! is a post from: ProPakistani Millions of people around the globe including Pakistan continue to get affected by an outage at the free internet phone service Skype. Users from Japan, Europe and the US all reported problems, which started at around 2030 GMT on 22 December. The company said the fault had been caused by critical parts of its network being taken offline. It is estimated that Skype was losing around half of its daily 20 million calls, when the problem first occurred. A spokesperson for the firm confirmed the problem was ongoing but could not say how many customers were affected. In a post the firm said that the problem had been caused by a series of supernode failures. These “act a bit like phone directories”, the firm said, routing traffic between users. “If you want to talk to someone, and your Skype app can't find them immediately (for example, because they're connecting from a different location or from a different device) your computer or phone will first try to find a supernode to figure out how to reach them,” it read. “Under normal circumstances, there are a large number of supernodes available. Unfortunately, today, many of them were taken offline by a problem affecting some versions of Skype.” This may take a few hours, and we sincerely apologise for the disruption to your conversations. Some features, like group video calling, may take longer to return to normal.

From the Blog ProPakistani: Microsoft and HEC in Pact for National Launch of 'Strategic Education Alliance' - Microsoft and HEC in Pact for National Launch of 'Strategic Education Alliance' is a post from: ProPakistani A well educated population is vital to ensure a successful future. To harness the power of education and Information Technology, Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has launched a countrywide education alliance with the Microsoft. In essence, the education alliance between HEC and Microsoft will provide centralized IT services to the universities and degree awarding institutes across Pakistan while maintaining the highest standards in the use of Information and Communication Technology across the higher education sector in Pakistan. The alliance will consist of Faculty Connection, Microsoft Student Partner program, Imagine Cup, Technology Lab Integration, Students to Business interaction (S2B) portals and MSDN Academic Alliance. This will be achieved through the Architecture planning and deployment of Microsoft technology, on-going technical support to Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) and proactive guidance for Service Improvement. Commenting on this major development in the country's higher education sector, Kamal Ahmed, Country General Manager, Microsoft Pakistan, said, "Microsoft believes that Information and Communications Technology (ICT), combined with education, provides the path to individuals, communities and nations to achieve their potential. The Education Alliance with HEC provides the framework for a comprehensive joint public/private implementation plan that supports Pakistan's objective of achieving education excellence. It is aligned to the key strategic aims of transforming education, fostering local innovation and enabling jobs and opportunities." Discussing the merits of the alliance, Anwar Amjad, HEC's Director IT, said, "This is a great opportunity for institutions of higher learning in Pakistan to gain access to a broad spectrum of technology and enable the country to move towards a knowledge-based economy, ultimately benefiting the country through socio- economic development." A key objective of the alliance is to establish the basis of a long term, on-going partnership that will also allow for regular review and measurement to ensure that all activities of Microsoft within the educational programs remain aligned to the long term. Since it is always fruitful for the state sector and private enterprise to work together to combine expertise, knowledge, experience and resources to ensure successful and sustainable education transformation, Microsoft will help the HEC and HEIs to attain their goals by transforming education, fostering local innovation and creating jobs and opportunities through this alliance. This blends perfectly with the HEC's stated objective of equipping university students and faculty with the latest technological access across Pakistan. The HEC is also committed to bridging the digital divide by bringing Pakistan at par with the developed nations of the world where technology enablement for the students is concerned.
