INDIA blocks Geocities, Blogs BlogSpot.com , TypePad
Posted by Varun Taneja at Tuesday, July 18, 2006Exactly seven days ago Kashmir and Mumbai were shooked by blasts carried on terrorists . One week on its impact is being felt on internet
Govermant of India Department of Telecom (DoT) has not taken to blocking blogs all over net and restricting sites on free servers like Geocities.com cause these have instrumental in propargation on information related to blasts before and after blasts
My ISP Airtel.in has blocked BlogSpot.com and my blogpages on it too
No-one from my friends having sifybroadband , mtnl broadband , hathway broadband , tata indicom (VSNL) broadband and even spectranet were not able visit my blog
i last watched my blog last after noon
i have moved it to new servers after reading economic times today morning blocking occured somewhere last night on my ISP
if u need help moving your blog or something like that comment please
Why blocking happened?
DoT asked to block 17-18 blogsites of militants on blogspot and typepad also some sites at geocities but stupid ISPs have blocked entire following series
*.blogspot.com
geocities.com/*
It is stupid of ISPs to do something as idiotic as tis
But bloggers are reacting same as traders did when sealing of shops occured in DELHI
How can i access blogspot?
u can access blogspot.com by visiting pkblogs.com or inblogs.net
Suppose if u want to open http://tecktadka.blogspot.com
New URL will be http://inblogs.net/tecktadka
