And it happens again, this time it’s Mobilizing services, services that are intended for optimizing non-mobile-optimized webpages. Google Mobilizer & Skweezer are now blocked by Etisalat. They’re blocked on Mobiles & Desktops!

Two stories, first it could be because the mobilizing services process pages and give them back to your mobile web browser or even desktop browsers if used, so the blocked URLs cannot be screened by Etisalat so they blocked it. Second, it’s about monopolizing and forcing you to consume more bandwidth on your mobile internet plan. It’s most likely to be the first while it’s possible to be the latter.
