Misleading.

It's the IP address of a proxy server owned by Ooredoo. Their telecoms group had a monopoly in Qatar until 2006 so a lot of traffic has gone through it. I'm not sure why this IP is prominent enough for its own page though. There was some media reports in December 2006 when Wikipedia blocked a Qatar IP but the page was created in April 2009. Is it standard practice to route all public ISP traffic through a single proxy in situations where nations wish to impose filtering?
