Myanmar Wide Web

The Myanmar Wide Web (MWW) is the intranet maintained by the military government of Myanmar (aka Burma). The MWW is designed to keep users away from information or artistic works that could possibly "subvert" the régime, cause ethnic tension, or encourage political instability in the view of the junta. The Web sites that users are able to visit are pre-selected by official censors. Free e-mail services (which are more difficult to monitor than official government accounts) are not allowed. Only about 25,000 people in the impoverished country have access to the MWW because of high subscription fees.
