Interesting post in a guitar forum:

If I and all other people who don't live in the USA try to access

http://www.georgewbush.com/

we get the error message

"You don't have permission to access 'http://www.georgewbush.com/' on this server."

This site uses the service EdgeScape by Akamai which can adapt (or block) the content by 'Country, Region (State or Province), City, Market area, MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) und PMSA (Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area), Area code, Latitude and Longitude, Time zone, County, Zip code'.

Of course, I still can access the site if I use an anonymous surfing service.


That is pretty on. Further on in the forum some one notes that they don't have any trouble with http://www.johnkerry.com. It is odd the the president would restrict in that manner.

Maybe he is playing a premium for bandwidth.
