It appears as though India has blocked both Yahoo!'s Geocities and Google's Blogspot services from access within India. Folks in India are reporting that they cannot reach either free hosted pages services. Is this a censorship issue? Not sure. Is it a security prevention issues? Not sure. Probably somewhat of both.
