Ethiopia bans Skype; 15 years of jail time possible

JMH · Jun 14, 2012

If you happen to use Skype in the country of Ethiopia, well ... don't. TechCrunch reports that a few weeks ago, the Ethiopian government passed a law that bans the use of Skype and any other VOIP service such as Google Talk in that part of the world. Not only that, but the story claims that the government could put people in jail for up to 15 years if they are caught using a VOIP service. There's no word as to how the government could enforce such a ban.
