engine, directly answers” your connection is interrupted “. There
were 30.000 internet polices to block internet activities all time.

How the China Government did it. Foreign companies, as Cisco system took part
to support all networking. Example router would clarify all IP address. Cisco
Company said that all of their infrastructure would block and limit Internet access.
The infrastructure could be used to limit for domain address and site pages.

The computer of China would sensor to all search queries and changed to domain
that appropriate with China Government regulation.

The Internet users still could access information, but ten minutes later would
be blocked by China Government.

To success the programs, Government of China joined venture with Yahoo, Google
and Microsoft.

Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft followed the regulations, because they were sure
that local regulation prohibited the information.

The China Government idea should be followed by others Developing Countries
that struggling to overcome pornography information.
