Talk about routing!  - Dialing +914 from South Africa is intercepted
with the message 'Due to difficulties in Kuwait, telephone service is
not available - British Telecom will resume services as soon as
possible.'

How many other non-USA countries use BT to do routing to Kuwait?

I wonder if this implies that any country that South Africa does not
route directly to is routed via BT?
