YouTube ban confirmed

It’s not possible to access the popular website youtube (www.youtube.com) from Bangladesh. From yesterday (Saturday), a large number of internet users called Prothom Alo to inform about this. A number of internet service provider in the country confirmed this. Apparently, the internet gateway that is used to access the submarine fibre optic cable from Bangladesh, controlled by the Bangladesh Telecom Company Ltd (BTCL), blocks youtube’s IP address. As a result, this popular website is not accessible from Bangladesh.
