According to the local court’s original order, social networking site Facebook has been unblocked by PTA, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. The site was blocked due to the blasphemous page titled “Everybody Draw Muhammad day” that has offended Muslim population all across the globe. In addition to Facebook, Flickr the photo sharing site, Youtube the popular video sharing site and Wikipedia were also blocked. Youtube and Wikipedia were unblocked earlier but Flickr has still not been unblocked.
Bangladesh has also blocked Facebook throughout the country on this weekend, though Pakistan authorities have unblocked the site according to the court’s order. ISPs throughout the country have already started unblocking Facebook though telecom companies have not unblocked BIS services yet on the BlackBerry devices. Facebook is one of the most popular apps on BlackBerries in Pakistan.

Well said, but my experience is that this simple truth seems to be falling on deaf ears. Every month, hosts seem to be lowering their prices and offering packages which are clearly not financially viable, and potential customers just lap them up, going for the lowest bidder, and then getting disgruntled when they can’t get a hold of customer service or the server is under a supposed “ddos attack” for days.
