What is the status of Internet access inside Burma?

Limited. People need to get a license to own a computer.

Are broadband connections available?
There is only one service provided by the government. I don't think
it's that fast.

Does the government block sites or searches?
Yes but they are not techie savvy and so if you are a hacker, you'll be
ok:)-

I can't answer the rest because I don't know the detail.

heard that the government blocks certain e-mail addresses--is that
correct?

Does the government monitor individual web usage? Does it
monitor the sites you visit? Does it intercept e-mails? Would the
government intervene if it found that you were encrypting your e-mail?
Does the government monitor instant message traffic? Does it monitor
Usenet postings?

Thanks for your time and attention.
