saw on some TV channel that govt is refining the order to only certain blogs of blogspot and parts of other sites.
Censorship is wrong but that's another matter. The govt order was pretty clear about the list of blogs to block. But some overzealous ISPs tried to be clever (stupid ?) and blocked the whole domain. They basically fudged the implementation. BSNL and VSNL did the blocking right but Reliance and Spectranet didn't.
The good thing out of this whole fiasco is we now know which ISPs have better personnel (I am speaking relatively :) and which ones to choose when renewing our account.
Also the govt officials will be more careful due to the media coverage given to this whole issue.
The blog blockade will be lifted after 48 hours according to this article on rediff. It also has the list of blocked sites. http://in.rediff.com/news/2006/jul/19blogs.htm
