More on Bahrain telecom

Former operator J.R. Snyder Jr. (internal link) attests to Bahrain's equipment and efficiency as described in my notes for January 25th:

"When I worked in the JAX IOC [Jacksonville International Operator Center] the only real way to get to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, etc. was through Bahrain. Our last resort was London, which we avoided like the plague. We dialed the Bahrain country code first on tandems and it would beep and then we entered the subsequent country code which usually resulted in a reorder (busy circuit). We had a top row of direct trunks to the Bahrain operator and they took great pride in their work and making sure your call got through one way or another."
