Clamp down

Check this out.  Talk about "mo no     pol   y" huh?  I suspected it will happen soon because in December, I couldn't get a stable connection using $ k  y pe from the motherland.  After 5 minutes of stable and clear comm, my China Telecom's router recycled my assigned IP address on the Internet router.  Like clock-works.  Lesser trained customers would complained that it was $  ky   PE but I did monitor my assigned IP........  So I knew something was up.  

From the Shanghai business review......
China clamps down on web telephony
Chinese regulators are clamping down on Internet-phone services that aren't provided by the country's state-owned telecommunications companies, according to Chinese media, a move that could make services like Skype SA unavailable in the country. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said voice-over-Internet protocol, also known as VoIP, services are illegal on the Chinese mainland unless they are provided by China Telecom Corp. and China Unicom Ltd., according to a report in Shanghai Daily. The newspaper said the ministry hadn't determined a timetable for implementing the ruling, which was released in December 2010.
