The Internet As-Is in China: Still Partially Borked
Not enough encouraging news, I know… here’s another list update on the Chinese Internet situation as-is…
- It seems that mainly China Unicom’s affected. That’s China Netcom as it used to be — if we’ve got the stats right. China Telecom seems to be unaffected. Ditto with China Mobile.
- VPNs are also hit — some work, but others are dead, including HotspotShield if you haven’t installed it.
- We’re getting reports that about 66% of MSN accounts are coming back — it’ll hit 75% soon, but no word when we’ll get that figure back up to 100%.
- Also hit is Dropbox, as we may have reported, but MobileMe remains up.
- Chinese IM folks have had to switch to QQ — which is viewed less “pro” than MSN / Windows Live Messenger.
Your tech blogger is coming through using a reroute which works, and now has the whole Internet back — but he does pity those who have to stick with what they have. It’s tragic.
