[44net] Re: Time to say "Goodbye".

Hi all, Coming home after a hard day's work, our TKNet Atlas probe is still miserably down : https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/53207/#tab-general 11 emails in the last two days did not help. It seems I'm still doing things "the wrong way"... I will retain : "Misunderstandings", "Your prefix validation was rejected.", "ARDC have no plans to provide an SLA of any kind" and "There is no guarantee that the IPs will remain available, ARDC also reserve the right to withdraw permission to use addresses for any reason." It's now time to blow the whistle ! ARDC won't have to withdraw our IPs, I'll give them back. It's now official : Corsica does not participate anymore in HamNet or 44Net networks. I will be unavailable from this evening and for the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately, our island will remain cut off from the world during that period. My apologies to external HAMs that won't be able to contact insular people with "Internet" protocols such as Echolink, D-Star or DMR. My apologies to our partners and hosts, too, which may loose parts of their Internet connectivity and/or services. Workarounds will be setup ASAP. More Actions will be taken when I'm back, including fully redundant routing with failover on reliable IPs. The project of 5 GHz links between Corsica and France is maintained. Anyway, even if the radio link works, there may be nothing useful to carry on such links. Sorry for those who already bought the equipment. Our TKNet network will continue its development, as a standalone, island-wide network. It will remain open, highly dedicated to experiment, and we'll be able to peer with any of our neighbors, with any modern technology. Moreover; if ARDC manages, in the next few years, to build the expected "New Generation Network", we'll be happy to peer with it, too. It's now time to say "Goodbye" to everybody here, and good luck to those who stay :-) I'll continue reading some very valuable posts on this mailing-list. And, maybe, also, some others... 73 de TK1BI PS : If ARDC wants to know why so few people are using 44net for their digital communications, I have some clues...
