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:

    And GE works fine.

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