[liberationtech] Technical specifications for the Internet Backbone in Syria

[Collin Anderson]

Just for clarification, this appears to be the RFA, Siemens' winning bid
and the actual contract for STE infrastructure work.

My understanding is that STE is probably about two generations ahead of
this document, and now much of the telecommunications equipment are Huawei
or later-model Cisco devices. The lawful intercept clauses seem to be
standard fair, and we are now aware that the one-month window has expanded
significantly longer.

Still, looking at the equipment list, it seems like Siemens was dumping
outdated hardware on a desperate market.
