Blocking/Bittorrent

17 May 2008

Internet Access Providers that block or interfere with Bittorrent traffic.

It seems that all but 4 of the 13 ISPs that block or interfere with Bittorrent traffic are in the US. The others are in Singapore, Malaysia, Canada and Ireland (1 each) http://broadband.mpi-sws.mpg.de/transparency/results/

"The map plots the geographic location of the 8,175 nodes that ran our BitTorrent tests. These hosts are distributed across 90 countries and 1224 access ISPs. Hosts that found their BitTorrent transfers being blocked are marked in red."

Maybe somebody could overlay this map on google earth.

It would be interesting to see a list per country of the provider who interfere/block p2p skype/voip. I am sure this would show some interesting results... "Sharing is good, telephony must be free". Who said that again ?
