I arrive on this forum via Ionut's request :)
I though that my Internet provider blocked access to youtube.

BTW, I have discovered this morning that a website has spammed YouTube with 95'000+ videos... within 1 day.

"Youtube.com is down right now because Pakistan Telecom has decided to (accidentally probably) hijack their IP address space which means that nobody in the world can reach Youtube." – OpenDNS / http://system.opendns.com/2008/02/24/58/

A NOC person said ...

"It is exactly like the "game of telephone" that kids play. For example, Pakistan Telecom says "I am responsible for 1.2.3.4 (some IP address)" and then they tell PCCW. PCCW tells Verizon Business and NTT and others. NTT tells us and so when my customers ask "Where is Youtube, we're just answering based on what we've heard..." But all we know is that we heard it from NTT who heard it from PCCW who heard it from Pakistan Telecom. If Pakistan Telecom was lying (or made a mistake), we'd have no way to verify it."
