Burmese ban on political websites
Burma has strict controls over internet use
By regional analyst James Miles
The Burmese authorities have banned the
country's internet users from issuing
material of a political nature.
Burmese television said the country's only
authorised internet service provider,
Myanmar Post and Telecommunications,
had outlawed the use of sites which were -
as it put it - detrimental to government
policies.
The regulations will come as no surprise in
a country that has been among the most
hostile in Asia towards the internet
revolution.
