Hello
I=92m planning to setup a FreeBSD Mirror for the FreeBSD Users from
India. I=92ve already acquired the domains freebsd.org.in and
freebsdindia.com

But right now the main issue is of bandwidth in India so I was
thinking of setting up the Mirror on a US based server with good
connectivity to India. I currently have few servers with a datacentre
in US and they are now about to get bandwidth from Tata Communications
which is an Indian Company and have good connectivity to all major
Indian ISP=92s as Tata Communications is one of the largest bandwidth
provider in India.

Please suggest if I should go for it? And if I setup the mirror can I
get it listed as official mirror of freebsd.org for India and whenever
bandwidth conditions improves in India or if I can get any sponsor in
India for hosting the mirror I can move the site to an Indian Server.

I can sponsor and maintain the mirror server in US till I get some
sponsor for Indian Server.

Please give your thoughts about it.
