China Telecom starts to block Skype users

Skype, the internet telephone services is becoming popular in China. Users using it for the free internet phone calls around the world easily.

China Telecom, the main broadband internet services in mainland China, now starts to block its users from using Skype as it affects its long distance calls revenue. Some report also said China Telecom has created a “black list” for those users who use Skype.

China’s internet services has said to block many politically sensitive content, for example like Falun Gong spiritual movement and 1989 event. Its internet services users won’t be able to access certain pages.

Internet should be free from those restrictions, it shouldn’t blocks people’s freedom of choices. People should read what they wanted. That is a very sad situation.
