Blocked?

No-Entry


I am to believe from a few sources that blogspot is going to be banned in india.

if this be true, then prolly this is a post which would the one that lets me take a long leave from posting on this site. It is going to be tough sans blogs, but i dont know if there would be much of a choice either.

an article on the hindu about this thing is found here
http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/19/stories/2006071919100300.htm

However, one is able to access and do all kinds of stuff on blogs from inside the insti.

Comments:
IITM still has all blogger blogs and blogger.com running, so you shouldn't have too much of a problem. And so does IITB, so I think that the Govt. of India forgot the IITs in the list of ISPs which were served the notice to block blogspot.
 
It might not be "banned" after all..if what http://mutiny.wordpress.com/2006/07/17/blog-blackout/ has to say is true..
 
guess one of the perks of working at google would be no effect of this "law".
