More On the YouTube/Pakistan Outage

CNET has an interesting column on the human role in Pakistan's global knockout of YouTube.

The BBC has more details on what happened technically -- including Pakistan's claim that it didn't intend to do anything so radical.

And there seems to even be outrage inside Pakistan.

Amid all that, Pakistan has now lifted the internal ban on YouTube.

All in all, this has been one of the most exciting global tech stories of the year.
