I may be wrong, but the news I am reading only say that users of China Telecom Broadband service will find SkypeOut blocked. So it's the ISP who is doing the blocking, not the country (of course, this is hardly better, given that CT is the biggest bradband provider, but still...).
Man VoIP is one of the best things in telecommunications. It has helped so many individual owners, small and large businesses to implement affordable VoIP phone services. This has helped so many call centers reduce costs. I hope they recognize VoIP's ability to reduce costs. As long as Skype is there, that will be great!<a class="user" href="http://www.ez-voip-phone-service.com/">http://www.ez-voip-phone-service.com/</a>

I can't believe you actually think that way. Freedom =/= No Freedom.

A side note: Most telephone users in China are using cellular phones (it has the world's largest cell phone market), because landlines are so incredibly expensive and it's too costly to drag copper line to a lot of the rural areas. In Taiwan there are more cell phones than people.Slightly out of date article here:<a class="user" href="http://news.com.com/Cell+phone+use+surges+in+China/2100-1039_3-5227836.html">http://news.com.com/Cell+phone+use+surges+in+China/2100-1039_3-5227836.html</a>

Personally I found it funny that the Chinese "government" was allowing someone called 'Mr Wang' to make a statement to a newspaper.
