Came across a blog entry that wrote about a map commissioned by Reporters Without Borders which points out the 15 countries where the internet is blacked out. No coincidence that in the rankings of press freedom, all of these are towards the bottom of that list as well. Some say that rock n’ roll (popular music) helped bring down communism…it’ll be interesting to see how internet usage/desire will fuel change in these countries.

“Perhaps most notorious among those countries is China, with its Great Firewall (and its insistence on self-censorship by non-Chinese companies operating within the Middle Kingdom). Other countries also maintain firewalls, notably Saudi Arabia, while less-developed nations might just not allow their citizens to own computers.”

Check out the map and details.
