It's by far cheaper than traditional long distance call, and even cheaper than other VoIP calls. Only the SkypeOut, but also SkypeIn have become very popular in China.

I visited vbuzzer.com just now. at the first glance, i can master much of this product/technology. does it use some open standards, e.g SIP, or Jabber, or something? is it based on P2P tech?

That's something good or not good. Internet itself can not lost controll. If all software using that way to open back door, take as much as possible of bandwith, internet will be break down. For this case, I believe govenment more concern that the content of people using skype can not be mornitored. Most of other provider did not get banned even it's not a small one like vbuzzer.

VoIP over 3G, GRPS, WLAN, WiMax, and etc. is technically feasible and allowed. FYI, Richard Hi, Boaz,

The 'saying' in Europe is that China is an example of a place in which telcom carriers do impose actual restrictions in using VoIP services. I understand from your article that the regulator in China do restrict PC-to-phone services. Do you know if there are restrictions, denial-of-services or blocking of PC-to-PC services as well?. Thanks, Boaz Israel. Dear Richard,
