Google Earth blocked?

The Google Earth application appears to be blocked via Etisalat connections at the moment.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

yep. we can't get it to work for 3 days now.
what's the matter?
yeah, we'll allow VoIP (with a bucketload of redtape) yet silently block google?

hmmmmm

wake up TRA

Maybe TRA got paranoid and considered it a security risk? you can see areas in Google Earth where photography is banned (palaces etc)

Seems to be a technical SNAFU rather than an attempt to block.

Replace your Tools, Connections, use automatic configuration script with:

http://proxy.emirates.net.ae/proxy.pac

And GE works fine.

Google and Etisalat have both been very slow to react to the problem.
