There is a problem currently in Italy accessing the BBC websites if you are using Tiscali as your ISP. It may also involve other ISPs here. Whilst hard facts are not being bandied about currently, the likely cause of the blocking of the BBC is the dispute regarding file sharing that the BBC is lust launching. Tiscali has not yet blocked the direct IP address 212.58.253.67 - although you will get the same block if you try to navigate any further. The issue has been discussed elsewhere, if you are interested...

AAAh ! well that might just be the problem as we use Tiscali. We can get the bbc world news , so thanks for that. I also use guardian unlimited for news too so not a problem really , I was curious as to what had happened though. thanks for all the replies. If anyone hears anything further about the dispute with tiscali I would be interested to hear about it. Maybe I should contact tiscali and ask them to sort it out subito !
