I was referenced to the Indian Telegraph Act 1885, and amendments to such brought forth by the India Department of Telecommunications, in time, which, in what I am interested in, allegedly require local Internet access for all employees in India. This is not possible if using thin clients hosted in US-based DCs, designed to access the Internet in the US, unless those specific to India hosted virtual desktops being configured to "go back" to India (via some creative routing and/or proxy pacs, with proxy servers hosted in India) to comply with the alleged requirement. If the latter is true, then the bad performance I was alluding to: India employee accessing virtual desktop in the US DC, which then sends them back to India for Internet access.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>***Stefan<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Mon, Feb 9, 2015 at 7:50 PM, <<a href="mailto:dp@datasoftcomnet.com" target="_blank">dp@datasoftcomnet.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Hello Stefan, <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I can help you on the technical advice. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Many of our clients access servers in the US on a continuous basis.
