When the morons sing " we will, we will, rock you! "

Premise: Country : India, Time : 4th week of July. Citizens wake up to find that they're unable to blog!

They scramble to find reasons, only to find none. Days go by, sporadic access to blogs, some find ways to beat the system/crappy policy, getting help from even the country's rival !.

Then comes the kicker, DoT, India terms is 'technological error'.

In an effort to stave off potential sectarian violence, the official said, the government's Department of telecommunications instructed Internet service providers to block access to the two pages. "Because of a technological error, the Internet providers went beyond what was expected of them, which in turn resulted in the unfortunate blocking of all blogs," the official explained.

Technological error to cut off the access to set of domain's! Are you kidding me ?

bloody accept the fact that you're technically challenged. Fact is you just don't get the tech. This is pathetic and clear infringement of fundamental rights of the constitution of India.

Also on Tuesday, a technician at a Bangalore-based service center of one Internet provider said the government had ordered blogspot.com to be blocked "due to security reasons." A service provider in New Delhi said the government, without explanation, had directed his company to block access to fewer than a dozen sites; he could offer no details on the nature of those sites. The secretary for telecommunications, D. S. Mathur, hung up the phone when reached at home.

Dude you called up the wrong guy. He has no clue to use the fone, leave alone to expect some courtesy out of him!
