Blogs not loading on big ISPs; bloggers cry foul.
Indian bloggers are up in arms about what appears to be the blocking of all weblogs hosted on popular website blogger.com.
What started as a minor irritation on Friday evening, with blogs not loading on Reliance and Spectranet connections, soon spread to other Indian ISPs. By Monday evening, no blogspot-hosted blogs could be accessed on Sify, Tata Indicom, MTNL, Airtel, Exatt, Swiftmail, and Incable in addition to Reliance and Spectranet. Some of the ISPs also blocked sites hosted on Typepad and Yahoo’s Geocities.
