Dear Host master,
This is to clarify our position in regards to the posting on your
website
http://groups.google.com.au/group/alt.politics.equality/msg/fa5170f5e769d69f=0
and thereby to neutralize any plausible implications that may be
construed thereof.
At the outset, it will be logical to start with the relation****p
between the three companies mentioned in your post, Al Hejailan
Projects Engineering, Horizon Communication Services and Horizon
Satellite Services.
Al Hejailan Projects Engineering Co. is a reputed company established
in Saudi Arabia way back in the 80s and as a holding company, it
offers a diverse range of services and products through many of its
subsidiaries. The activities of these subsidiary companies range from
construction, telecoms, manufacturing and other services. Al Hejailan
Projects Engineering Co. sup****ts its subsidiaries with Management and
Financial Sup****t services.
Both, Horizon Communication Services, registered in Riyadh, Saudi
Arabia and Horizon Satellite Services, registered in Dubai, UAE are
fully owned subsidiaries of Al Hejailan Projects Engineering Co.
Horizon Communication Services (HCS) provides IT infrastructure
implementation and maintenance sup****t to Al Hejailan Projects
Engineering Co. Whereas Horizon Satellite Services (HSS) provides
internet-via-satellite connectivity solutions for the Middle East
region.
As an Internet Service Provider, HSS is a member of RIPE (http://
www.ripe.net) and conducts business in strict adherence to regulations
stipulated by RIPE including those related to issuing of IP addresses
to clients. Accordingly, we are required to specify the usage and
update the RIPE database to reflect our customers' details as and when
new IP addresses are issued.
IP address 82.205.138.35 was assigned to Horizon Communication
Services (HCS) in May-06. In due course, when HCS requested more IP
addresses, we (HSS) assigned them with a new set of IP addresses and
gave their old IP address 82.205.138.35 to one of our customers in
Lebanon. However, we did not update this information on the RIPE
database to reflect the new change, since it is a standard practice to
do this periodically and not as soon as an IP address is changed. This
explains why the search to www.nazrolla.org led to the fact that it
was hosted on 82.205.138.35 and why the RIPE database was still
showing Horizon Communication Services' name.
Further, Al Hejailan's name was not registered to that IP address but
the address of one of the persons registered in the RIPE database,
Karthikeyan K which mentioned Al Hejailan Projects Engineering's name.
As an Internet Service Provider, these kinds of issues are common and
whenever HSS receives inquiries related to usage of its services, in
the larger interest of all concerned and that of the society we live
in and contribute to, it is our policy to disclose all necessary
information, within our means and knowledge, on the person or company
using our Internet services, including IP addresses that have been
issued by us. However, when it comes to content, understandably, we do
not have control over the content hosted by customers using our
services.
I hope this explains the situation and trust you will be kind enough
to use this clarification to clear up this issue with the owner of the
blog. Also, kindly remove this posting from your website.
Please feel free to revert back to us in case you need any more
details or clarifications.
Thank you & kind regards,
