Many businesses here rely on it. Does anyone have a recommendation on a VPN client, as my skype credits are gone! I only use it for SMS to the states. To chat, I use Google Chat. Free to US and CAN phones! :) I don’t know much about the MOC, but if all VOIP is blocked, it would be a simple protocol to block. Many businesses here rely on it.

You would see the logic when you need to maintain telephone companies monopoly on the telecommunications market in the country. No company wants to go out of business. I am not saying I like the idea but I understand it. Well, you would understand why they would block it because getting things for free isn’t really what the world is about today or years ago.

I visited Skype official website and it was blocked (by ministry of communication, Qnet ISP). although it is easy to get a copy of Skype online through TONS of other file hosting websites, I don't see the point of blocking the official website. WE as a community allowed the idea of mass blocking websites, no one protested. most of US thought its a good idea to mass block adult websites in the begining. although its and absurdly a stupid idea. becausethere is always a way to get around it, which doesn't solve the issue in the first place. when you go and buy a new sattalite do you go and demand TV channels to stop broadcasting adult material ? no , you are either stupid enough not to buy the service in the first place for religion reasons or whatever, or you would monitor your OWN home usage by setting passwords for certain channels. the same thing applies to the internet. first of all information is FREE you should not and CANNOT hide it from the public no matter how hard you try. instead every one should monitor his own internet usage by setting the router or installing the so-called internet nanny software. not knowing how to monitor your home internet usage is your own damn problem, not everyone's else in the community. utterly pathetic minds we have in the this society, who always apply fake solutions to daily life problems so they can rest their minds at night. don't complain anymore why we are yet living in the 3rd world. @35: I bought Skype credit few times. try using VPN's to access the official website and get some credit.
