Flickr too! Amazing! Watch out for low flying pigs!

OMG...they must be feeling sick or something! I won't be surprised if the sites get blocked, again...soon.

Can't help feeling pessimistic. It's Etisalat we're talking about.

trailingspouse said...

Whoops, you're right. In my excitement I typed in flikr.com - not the same thing. Ah well . . .

90 % of the shiny new unblocked links are from samuraisams list of Bad sites.

Hmmm conspiracy theory time, Sam turns up in SandLand and Etisalad (TM) unblocks sites.

OMG!!1! sam is Etisalad

Great ! :)

I wonder if our emails to Etisalat had an effect, or was it just the bad publicity ;)

Seabee said...

Isn't it ridiculous folks - we get excited about being able to access harmless sites the rest of the world has access to all the time!

Woke said...

Awesome.
Did they sign the Magna Carta yet?

Harsha said...

this has happened b4..they block sites n then unblock in a while...

maybe at first glance they just block it..and then depending on the response they go through it and unblock it.

As much as I want to be cynical...this is great! Even if it's only a small step on the road to enlightenment, let's applaud them for the effort.

Or maybe "DU" is due to arrive shortly in a city near you, and EggySalad wants to be seen to compete?

flic said...

That's very good news!

archer14 said...

Definitely, its DU that has helped. I've also heard of rumours that they no longer block landline bill defaulters.

samuraisam said...

Perhaps co-incidentally, today is Etisalat's 30th anniversary.
