---------------------------------
Hahaha, gov't official - meet reality.
"State Minister for Posts and Telecommunications Tarana
Halim says proxy servers being used..."
""I think Facebook can't be closed unless the internet
is shut down. We don't want to do that. We won't shut
down the internet," said Tarana Halim."
"We are only catching only those that need to be caught,
not everyone."
"I ask you (journalists) to find out whether it's possible
or not. I hope you will find the answer. Closing down
Facebook 100 percent is not possible in any country in the
world"
Or any other app a gov't wants to keep from its citizenry
so their communications with others can be controlled.
"Those who are using them are using a bandwidth with
a specific capacity. They won't be able to do that
much longer. Because this bandwidth's capacity is low."
"The second bandwidth's speed is far lower than normal.
Saboteurs can't communicate and organise attacks fast
enough using that bandwidth. It's very easy to track
(anyone's internet activity) if the speed is low.""
wtf does that even mean?

If you've done one, please ping me off-list? Got a few clarifications that
the RFC doesn't go deep enough in the right places for.

The service of Facebook, Viber and Whatsapp are
blocked from now till further notice. It has been
ordered by Begum Tarana Halim, State Minister, Post
and Telecommunications.

I just saw this on BdNOG and thought it might be
interesting to others here and where some of the
internet is headed...
Wow, all of these govt's just can't seem to deal
with not being able to completely control *everything*
about the populace.
So, in Bangladesh, no communicating with your social
peers, no free calls, text or picture sharing and no
mobile messaging. The new State Minister for Post
and Telecommunications in Bangladesh wants her money.
It'd be interesting to hear how they're attempting
to make it happen.
