Together with the Bangla Desh chapter, we developed
a smartphone app which can test whether your local
isp blocks applications like skype. This works very
well if you want to get statistics on the different
isp's, we have run around 10,000 tests with it
already Please check our website <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://open.internet.nl" target="_blank">http://open.internet.nl</a>
(it has English) or download the app (English
spoken) from Google Play store "Open Internet NL"
Despite the NL for Netherlands we can capture the
results of your local test right away and send them
to you. So try it out and let me know if I can be of
further help.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Not the
