Just heard from a source at Paksitan that "Youtube" is being blocked at Pakistan. There is an unconfirmed news that PTCL has blocked it already & other providers are being forced to do the same by PTA.

I can only speculate why - but its only speculation mind you
From yesterday I have been receiving quite a few links of people claiming to have witnesed vote rigging in karachi and have uploaded the videos on Youtube - I am since yesterday limited to blackberry access since I am in Peshawar (Franctically trying to get online hope to succeed soon )
I have personally not seen the videos but the people have shared a few
Mind you its only speculation as it comes too close to the uploading of the videos - could this be a reason-?
Weird..now that you have mentioned it, I just checked and the trace appears to stop at PIE with destionation host unreachable. Anybody aware what's the impetus behind this move?

PTA has mentioned only 1 IP to be blocked but youtube.com seems to multiple IPs. PTA has also directed to block the URL within 2 weeks (if operator currently doesn't have URL blocking feature, they need to get this done in 2 weeks time). Following is excerpt from PTA emails:

The only channel brave enough to play these videos has been Dawn News in Pakistan. It would obviously be too much to ask that pro-MQM channels like Geo and ARY play, or even mention rigging by MQM.
Turn the volume up. Open rigging. 8+ ballot papers being given to EACH MQM voter, all the votes having the same fingerprint on them!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TPUHHFky38 Listen to the part where the undercover woman says about ID card numbers, "ID card number koyi bhi daal dein, kis nay check kerna hai?", and the voting officer says, "Jo kerta hai ker lay check! Hehe!"

Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and numerous others have the infrastructure
for URL filtering. Mostly they block political / religious /
blasphemous / anti-social and any material that does not adhere to the
laws of the land.
I'm against Censorship but in any country where we live, the law of
the land has to be followed. I'd be interested in other people's views
on this.

This is the link PTA has asked ISPs to block in their official letter.
PTCL in it's greatest wisdom has blocked the IP. Awesome!!

Some ISPs are said to have received paper based communication from PTA Peshawer asking for this blockade. Trigger happy PTA has reportedly blocked the IPs.
-T
p.s: The way PTA works, each region finds it necessary to send out correspondence to every ISP in the country and finally the PTA HQ again asks for the same - terrible paper trash generated and the receivers must respond/reply to each of such letter.

The site would remain blocked till further orders from
PTA. Meanwhile, Internet users can write to youtube.com <http://youtube.com> to remove the objectionable web content/movies because this removal would enable the authorities to order un-blocking of this web site.
