What is up with that? I think a domain called Narod is suppposed to do the same thing, either reducing non-CIS traffic to a crawl or forbidding it outright. I'm really not that knowledgable on the whole internet infrastructure thing, but what is the deal? Is it a government controlled thing? Does Russia just lack the bandwidth to allow a free-for-all? Is it cheap ISPs? Or are we in the US just really fortunate not to have this restriction in place?
