[WSIS CS-Plenary] China filtering

[west]

Dear Colleagues,

Hi after a long time. We are looking for some reports on internet filtering 
in China and wish to find out what software's they are using and who is 
selling it to them (Govt) for this reason. It seems the same company is 
start selling its software to middle east countries, I have  information on 
prices of about $ 50 mln! I need some proper information on filtering status 
in China.

Could anyone help me in this regard?

Best

Amir

It seemed like a very worthwhile meeting and I'm sorry I couldn't stay
too long.  If we are to keep development and capacity building as
central themes of IGF we must work well with G77+

Thanks for arranging things.

Adam
