My guess is that things will remain relatively open until after the Olympics when things will get blocked again after the cameras leave.

So W*t*p*a, which has been widely written about and which advertises on Shanghaiist.com, may well be blocked, despite the fact that you need a foreign credit card to pat for the service. But there are a bunch of other providers... If you have Amex or Visa, there's nothing to worry about. Let's hope I don't have to eat my words. David,

You confirmed what I had suspected about the so-called coming down of the Great Firewall. In fact, as you suggest, many of the sites remain partially unavailable. I hope someone does an analysis so we can see what is really opened up. Tom Andrew,

Very interesting.

Or am I just being paranoid?
