Report: Indian government blocking all Blogspot blogs
BoingBoing reader Jace says,
India's Department of Telecommunications (DoT) passed an order to ISPs Friday to block several websites. The list is confidential. Indian ISPs have been slowly coming into compliance. SpectraNet, MTNL, Reliance, and as of Monday afternoon, Airtel. State-backed BSNL and VSNL have not started yet but likely will soon. The known list of blocked domains is *.blogspot.com, *.typepad.com and geocities.com/*.

At the same time in the USA a handful of telecommunications and cable lobbyists are fighting to pass a bill that will allow them to control which website you access. Till now most of the telecommunications and cables just serve as communication channels and have no say in what you see, which they want to now change.So in the future it may happen that if you try to access a site which has not signed up with your ISP you may not be able to access.
By the way you seem have become a blog churning machine.
The internet is ending! nooooo!
