The Kuensel recently reported that according to Bhutan Telecom officials, "internet services would be much faster" following the launch of a new DNS server. Unfortunately, this is not accurate. While we might notice an improvement in the response time - i.e., the time it takes until the download or upload starts - the download and upload speeds are not expected to improve dramatically.

Bhutan Post takes advantage of SMS technology
Yesterday morning I received an SMS from Bhutan Post:
You may kindly collect your parcel from our General Post Office, Thimphu during working hours - BHUTAN POST - Your Friendly Service ProviderI rushed down to the post office and a package was indeed waiting for me. I found out that the IT department at Bhutan Post recently installed a system that sends out these messages to the recipients of parcels. A fine use of SMS technology, and another example of Bhutan Post's all-around fantastic service.

Bhutan Post SMS Service?
While using the Bhutan Post website to calculate international postage (very useful - here's the link to the online application), I stumbled upon the Bhutan GPO SMS Service page. It has a place to enter a mobile phone number and a short text message, and also a "Send" button. I wonder if this application is supposed to send an SMS to a subscriber in Bhutan? I tried it, but it hangs. If you have more information about this application, please post.
