Military Blockade:
US Military Network Blocks Access to Popular Site
The US military have blocked access to popular sites on their network to free up bandwidth.
This move is a response to the earthquakes in Japan and their aftermath.
From CNN:
The sites -- including YouTube, ESPN, Amazon, eBay and MTV -- were chosen not because of the content but because their popularity among users of military computers account for significant bandwidth, according to Strategic Command spokesman Rodney Ellison.
