: Michael GeistIs Rogers Blocking Access to RuinediPhone.com?
By Michael Geist
Several readers have written today indicating that they believe that Rogers is blocking subscribers from accessing RuinediPhone.com, the petition site that is complaining about Rogers' data plans for the iPhone. While the initial reports over the weekend indicated that the problem lay with the site host, I must admit that I am experiencing the same problem. When I try to access RuinediPhone.com using Rogers Internet service, it yields a 403 error. Yet when I use a proxy service to access the site, it resolves without difficulty. While Rogers can't like the negative publicity associated with its iPhone launch, it is hard to imagine that the company would block the site. Are others experiencing the same problem? Does anyone know what is happening?
Update: The site now appears to be resolving on Rogers. Seemingly a technical or DNS problem, rather than an effort to actually block the site.
