[sdnog] ME DNS Forum 2016 | 4-5 May 2016

[Hiba Eltigani]

+1I second Nishal suggestion here. It is nice to hear people talking about 
inclusion and bridging digital divide and all that nice jargon but the 
reality is some of these issues are just human made.Why not use alternative 
tool that will work for all users? VPNs and tunnels are not the most intutive 
way to access Internet.
