Millions of Internet users lost access to YouTube for several hours on Sunday because Pakistan’s government tried to block access to the popular website and that affected other countries.An Internet expert said :
Sunday’s problems came after a Pakistani telecommunications company complied with the block by directing requests for YouTube videos to a “black hole.” So instead of serving up videos of skateboarding dogs, it sent the traffic into oblivion.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority had ordered 70 Internet service providers on Friday to block access to YouTube.com because of anti-Islamic movies on the video-sharing site, which is owned by Google Inc.YouTube confirmed the outage and said:
“We are investigating and working with others in the Internet community to prevent this from happening again,”
According to Todd Underwood, vice president and general manager of Internet community services at Renesys there is nothing preventing this from happening to E-Trade, or Bank of America, or the FBI, or the White House.
Underwood added that it’s a useful moment for people to decide just how important it is that we fix problems like this.

Here is a picture of the H-2A rocket carrying the Kizuna satellite.Japan has successfully launched an experimental 342 million H-2A rocket carrying the Kizuna satellite that will provide high-speed Internet access across Asia earlier today.According to reports:
The communications satellite, expected to be in use for five years, separated from the rocket approximately 35 minutes after the launch, said an official of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) during a live broadcast.
Kizuna is expected to begin transmitting and receiving data with terrestrial infrastructures in July will allow super-high speed data communications of up to 1.2 Gbps, which would make it the fastest in the world.That rate would translate to 150 times that of the average high-speed ADSL connection rate of 8 Mbps, or 12 times the speed of a fibre-optic communication delivery to a person’s premises (FTTP).

Yahoo Inc. has bought an online video service called Maven Networks Inc. for $160 million earlier today.The internet giant is desperately trying to expand its online advertising network and get out of a two-year financial fiasco.
Maven helps television and movie studios find Web sites to show their videos and manage the accompanying advertisements. The six-year-old startup works with a wide range of media outlets, including CBS Sports, Gannett Co., News Corp., Hearst Corp. and Sony Pictures.According to Yahoo:
“We think video is going to become the third leg of the advertising stool,”
Yahoo has also been discussing a search advertising partnership with Google Inc.But a deal between Google and Yahoo would face significant antitrust issues and therefore pushing analysts to conclude an alliance is improbable.
