The simple reason is that Kuwaiti government and its citizens make no sense. Can’t wait to get out of this place.

Thanks Sandy for this note. Will keep it in mind. It’s the concept of blocking that pisses me off more really.

you can use Black Byte Networks to unblock voip / skype / website. It has been unblocking voip / skype worldwide for more than a year. It has a 7 day free trial. After the free trial, one has to pay a year's subscription of $49.99/-. In case the website is blocked, send an emailto blackbytenetworks at gmail dot com to get the executable. regards, Sandy

Krzy Kat: I think all telecom companies in Kuwait do blocking as per MOC rules

Hey – I’ve got a nice VoIP site called http://www.indivoip.com and we even have a pre-loaded fring client that people can download to their mobile phones and make calls or cheap. I recently got a complaint from a client in Kuwait that is not able to use us with Wataniya. Does anyone know which mobile carriers do not block VoIP calls ? thanks.

Khansaa: Indeed pretty silly. And MOC is pushing ISPs to invest more and more into blocking rather than expansion technologies.

skype site blocked, also new skype software blocked but old version is working correct just MOC wanted to show its existence. I don’t know which stupid panel or programmer or expert gave them this opinion to block skype.

This things are not acceptable.

Moe: I totally agree. Proxies and other way around blocking are there. What they oppose is the mentality and direction the country is going towards.

The one who is baring the blocking cost eventually is the ISP I believe. MOC just issues ridiculous orders, ISPs have to figure it out.

skype client is workin website is blocked, if u wanna get credit, use proxy to access skype website, the whole idea about controling or blocking access in the internet i find it rediculous coz it simply can’t be controled no matter how hard they try. it’s thier loss realy. coz they spend millions of dollars to come up with ways to block but at the end there’s a way to go arround it. damn stupidity

Ali: Please, don’t even joke about blocking other airlines and food. As next thing you will see next morning is they are really blocked. And you won’t be able to wake up if you pinch your self either.

As a matter of fact, MOC was discussing with ISPs a VoIP service that they control. Ofcourse in that case, it would be crazy expensive and defeat the whole purpose.

If MOC is losing money then why in-god’s-name wouldn’t it OFFER a similar service instead of BLOCKING VoIP sites.. oh wait.. because its EASIER!
I wonder: if the same logic is applied then all Airlines should be blocked so people would use Kuwait Airways only… and all food products MUST be banned so we use local products only… and… You get the idea of how dumb it sounds.

3baid: CORRECT AND… MOC loses money as well. Who do you think sets the international call prices, and takes part of the share? It’s MOC

Because the telecommunications companies lose money?
