| Re: hack the planet! I'm not sure that it will make a huge difference to VOIP. China is probably going to mirror standard DNS data for the most part and then start deleting or reassigning DNS assignments they don't like. Right now (or at least yesterday), China was blocking IP addresses of sites they don't like.
What is going to get wierd will be if China decides to start reselling domain names, e.g. cnn becoming China NEtwork NEws, etc.
As to VOIP more specifically, I think that will continue to remain a cat and mouse game. Don't, however, underestimate the resourcefulness of the Chineese people. I'm in Hong Kong at the moment and was at a computer centre earlier in the week. Technology was being openly sold designed at tunnelling under the Great Firewall in use in the mainland. (Hong Kong's internet is wide open). Most of the stuff they were selling (I only glanced casually) appeared to have been made in the mainland, (e.g. tunnelling routers, etc.).

| China tomorrow will launch their own DNS system, with three temporary top level domains, (.CN, .Com and .Net) that will be available only via Chinese networks. Chinese users will be routed directly through the Chinese domestic analysis server, bypassing ICANN entirely. An excellent idea. The Chinese government realizes that unrestricted access to the internet by its citizens is harmful to its citizens. 
On the other hand, I wonder if adding those entries to my firewall rules and hosts file will serve any purpose.

If you feel censorship is so bad here than move to China, Vietnam or Iran and see how well you can bitch about your leaders there. I mean really, you don't know how good you have it here in the US.
I mean I know life is tough here with all of the political freedoms like free speech, freedom of religion and right to posses fire arms. I also know it can be a little troubling not living under a martial military type dictatorship where the government's goons will come make you disappear. I also understand your plight living in a society that practices due process and law and trial by jury to ensure you get a fair chance for justice. I mean I really feel bad for the fact that you don't have to undergo compulsory service in the military and it's a volunteer force and that you can protest anywhere you want even in front of the Nation's Capitol without being run over by Army tanks.
America does suck...low taxes, low unemployment, capitalist society where I can read the Bible, Koran or Penthouse without being persecuted by religious police. Another thing that gets me going is this whole I can elect my officials by going to the polls and voting is awful too, I mean why can't my leaders be picked for me where I have no say in how the government is run at all?

| It means that when you plug in something like »:/www.whatever.com into your browser in China, your ISP's DNS tables will be based on China's domestic ones that have been sanitized by the government. You can do some really scary things with something like this. For example, if you want to lock out a foreign company from e-business in your country, you redirect all requests for www.amazon.com to a domestic bookstore. If you find a site that regularly bad mouths your country, have the DNS entry redirect to a government run site. Maybe just the usual 404 error message, or if you want to be really creative, have your people create a site that's a visual clone of the original, but YOU control the content. All of a sudden, Amnesty International thinks China's doing a bang up job of dealing with political prisoners.
This isn't even a new idea. Corporate intranets with external internet access do this a fair bit, only on a smaller scale. Request a corporate site, and you get faster access because it's being served from a local machine in the building instead of the online one that everyone else sees. Request something inappropriate and it's blocked -- cuts down on employees checking out porn and online poker on company time. | |

Will China basically cut internet access to non-Chinese site creating in essence a giant INTRANET? Or am I completely misunderstanding the technicalities of how this works? | |

| The "China DNS System" will stop most people from accessing "bad" websites (where bad is defined by the Chinese Communist Party). For the stranglers, they have the "Great Firewall of China." So you might visit a "grey market" site and obtain the IP addresses of a popular, but banned, site, but you'd likely find that IP address blocked before long. (And the grey market site either a) pressured to rein in the IP address posts, b) shut down, or c) blocked.)

| The real issue All of you are missing the really heinous aspect of this entire thing. The DNS system relies on there being one top-level DNS for each domain - the root server. China is now creating their own .COM root, separate from the .COM root used by the rest of the world. Now you will never know whether an address will resolve or not. If someone tells you to go to pandas.com it may or may not take you where the person wanted you to go.
Yes, the censorship is an issue, but the TLD issue is much more serious to the integrity of the Internet. | |

| Censorship Basicly the whole ICANN situation is just an excuse China is using to do this. They are not only setting up their own root servers, but they are using existing TLDs, this is just a way for them to censor the Internet withing their country. And, yes, I do agree that news and information is censored here (USA) and every other country, but China takes in to an entirely new level. They aren't just cutting out ICANN, they are cutting out the entire world. | |

| Valid Question Why are we worried about what China is/is not doing?
It's been pointed out that they're Communists - which, if you actually study them, they're not Communists but mere common socialists - and that they do not have a 'free society'. Ok. They don't. Neither does Myanmar, several of the -stan countries, many countries in Africa, a couple in Sudamerica, etc.
What, should we now invade China to bring freedom and democracy to them as well? What about North Korea while we're at it?
China can make laws stating that everyone needs to paint themselves purple with gold spots every alternate Wednesday. If they want what is essentially their special private internet, I don't have a problem with it. Their country; if they don't like it they can have a revolution, much like they did against the Western powers that screwed them up in the first place back in the 1800s and early 1900s.
Oh. That's right. We forgot about Chiang Kai-shek and his dictatorship. Ooops!
This is NON-NEWS. If we want to bitch about it, then let's get the tanks ready. Otherwise, we need to sit down, shrug, and let them continue their merry way. | |

All the DNS servers that you will use will point to some other DNS server, then to some other DNS server, and eventually get to the ICANN top level DNS server.
For China all of their DNS servers will point to some other DNS server, etc. which will eventually point to China's top level DNS server.
I run my own DNS server for my internal sites. All DNS requests resolve to my DNS server. If my DNS server cannot find the name, the request is sent to an outside DNS server, in this case UT. If UT cannot resolve the DNS request they sent it to who knows where. Eventually a DNS server is located in the tree that has the information. This DNS server may very well be the ICANN top level DNS server. It most certainly will never be a DNS server in China.
As long as no DNS server outside of China points to any DNS server in China, then the name resolution will not be a problem. China effectively becomes a large private network, like what I have only larger, and all DNS requests stay within China.
In effect each country could run their own DNS server and really control what their people are exposed to on the internet. It is a pain and pointless if you want to expand beyond your own country. But China does not want outside influence and this will effectively block getting information from outside of China. | |

Perhaps if your in China, but not US internet networks or global internet networks.
China will basically be creating and operating an "intranet" with restricted access to the global internet.
I think China do what they want, but they crossed the line by trying to underhand the set global standards by interfering with set top level domains like .com, they should be shunned. | |
