40% of INET blocked :-( in U.A.E. and i need a HQ :-)

According to media luminary Al SAbdul Latif ayegh:


“The internet blockage rate [of unwanted material] in the UAE has reached 40 per cent that is among the highest in the world.”

Al Sayegh’s remarks came at a conference on Emirates Media Freedom at Zayed University in Abu Dhabi.

Not really something for the nation to be proud of, is it?
