[RIPE Atlas Ambassadors] RIPE Atlas for Saudi Arabia - how come so many abandoned?

Good Morning Evgeniy,

Yes, we do indeed have these challenges in Saudi and other some countries for different reasons. I contacted many of the concerned operators and ISPs informing them that they/we can’t do the measurements if the probes are not connected.

I mentioned that our resources are limited, so we truly hope we can get the probes up to do full diagnose and measurements, or else we will have to release the resources that were assigned to them to other projects.

Best Regards,
Chafic
