  China Telecom to block Internet telephony providers like Sykpe
  XFN Daily News, 2005-9-12

  China Telecom, the nation's biggest fixed-line telephony provider, is working to shut down computer-to-telephone call services, to force people to pay for its much more expensive offering, state press said.
  China Telecom is presently experimenting with blocking computer-to-telephone and computer-to-computer services in the major urban centers of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Beijing Business Today reported.
  If the system proves effective, the fixed-line provider hopes to install it nationwide by 2006-2007, it said.
  Such measures are aimed at blocking Internet telephony companies, like Skype, a European company whose software includes the fee-paying "SkypeOut" service in China and free computer-to-computer telephone services elsewhere, the paper said.
