The service of Facebook, Viber and Whatsapp are blocked from now till further notice. It has been ordered by Begum Tarana Halim, State Minister, Post and Telecommunications. ----------------------------------------------

I just saw this on BdNOG and thought it might be interesting to others here and where some of the internet is headed...

Wow, all of these govt's just can't seem to deal with not being able to completely control *everything* about the populace.

So, in Bangladesh, no communicating with your social peers, no free calls, text or picture sharing and no mobile messaging. The new State Minister for Post and Telecommunications in Bangladesh wants her money.

It'd be interesting to hear how they're attempting to make it happen.
