To block Skype, or not to block Skype
… Ponders the great TRC titan. TRC stands for the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission who, as I noted previously, were deliberating blocking Skype in Jordan. Fortunately, many people took this fascist intention seriously and talked about it. As I have read, the TRC went ahead and blocked Skype (partially) then magically changed their minds about the “threat” Skype poses and unblocked it.
Great going TRC. Really wise at the beginning, then really professional, and then really consistent.

lol i dont know what the big deal is. there’s no reason for them to block it other than for security compatibility. in otherwise they couldn’t monitor it. <br /><br />if jordan telecom was still a government monopoly then i could see the ’sense’ in them doing that to maintain their position. <br /><br />people are acting like this is north korea or something<br />
