India still blocks
According to reports on the Bloggers Collective, the blocking issue is still not resolved in India. There are still reports of blocks in place, or being reinstituted. From Nikhil Pahwa on the mailing list:
The problem is either with VSNL or Flag Telecom (which is owned by Reliance). If users on Reliance are able to access blogs, then the fault lies with VSNL. MTNL is checking it out - I mailed them, they called, and now they’re trying to find out what is happening. They have the traceroutes.
Fortunately, in his case calls to the telco/ISP got things restored quickly as he updated on his blog, but others are still having problems:
Update 2:
Shyam confirms that this is a VSNL problem, which gets its connection via Reliance. Airtel gets its connection via Singtel, and seems to be working fine.Update 3: Able to access blogs now. That was quick.
