China manages to lose partial use of Home windows Phone 7 Marketplace, Great Firewall to become blamed?

It is a well-known proven fact that China's Great Firewall is not particularly friendly with certain foreign online services, but yet, it seems that people may are in possession of a brand new victim joining the kind of Facebook, Twitter and, sometimes, Android Market. Based on Home windows Phone Sauce blogger Kane Gao, many Home windows Phone 7 customers in China have experienced limited use of industry during the last couple of days -- they cannot download any application, however they can continue to browse content and receive update notices.

While Microsoft's service has yet to visit reside in China, Chinese customers could still purchase applications by altering all their profile location configurations towards the US. Alas, this trick is useless now, climax unlikely that Microsoft's the reason here -- it can't seem sensible to bar genuine US customers who're going to China. Fortunately, Kane had not a problem dealing with industry using a US VPN, the industry large tell-tale sign showing the Great Firewall has made the decision to barricade WP7's own application market. The main reason We'll don't know, and there is no telling on whether this can be a permanent prohibit, either. Nokia, as being a large player in the united states, sure hopes not.
