Google, Gmail banned in Myanmar: Surfers

The Myanmar government has blocked the Google search engine and its mail service Gmail, say Internet users here. Users in the country have not been able to access the Google site for more than a week, reported the Mizzima News. Those attempting to view either Google or Gmail are confronted with a message saying 'Access Denied'. An official from Bagan Cybertech, the country's only Internet service provider, confirmed that both Google and gmail were inaccessible but declined to comment further. In an effort to control the flow of information in and out of the country, the military government has banned several websites, including Yahoo and Hotmail. © 2006 Indo-Asian News Service
