I remember in the Emirates, sometimes YouTube and a few others would have issues. I think you couldn't access Skype. Are websites regularly blocked in Qatar?

If the website language is other than English or Arabic it's never blocked. Q-Tel's computer knows only English and Arabic.

I don't think I've come across anything blocked yet? I have a VPN to watch things from the UK but amazingly to download torrents, it doesn't work with the VPN but does with the when not connected!

Also betting websites from the UK are not blocked here either.

Khanan, it should read: The ICT authority is TRYING to censor the Internet. But they can't. The authorities have lost the war!

Yeah, when the wife and I were in China we used a very helpful program to get around the ridiculous gov blocks. Almost EVERYTHING seemed to be blocked in China.

Hi mimi,

I received an email saying you sent me a PM, but when I open my message box I do not see it! Did you send anything to me?
