[August 06, 2010] 'Lithuania operators resist foreign betting sites ban' Tweet Aug 06, 2010 (DMEUROPE via COMTEX) -- Lithuanian operators Teo and Bite announced that the proposed methods for blocking local access to foreign betting websites are inefficient. The operators responded to a proposal from the Lithuanian agency ISA on ways to block the sites. The only way to block efficiently the unlicensed online betting companies is to disconnect the internet, claim the operators. They are disputing whether a decision by the Vilnius regional court on blocking the sites obliges them to implement technical solutions. Three Lithuanian betting comopanies submitted the appeal to the court on the activity of foreign online betting companies. The ISA said that it's possible to route internet users to local IP addresses by ISP DNS servers, as well as to forbid access to betting sites in the ISPs' routers. Teo has applied to the court for a further explanation of the issue. Distributed for DMeurope.com via M2 Communications (www.m2.com) [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ]
