On 24 February 2008, PCCW was blamed for blocking users around the world from accessing the video sharing website YouTube. While attempting to block internet users in Pakistan, following orders from the Pakistani Government, PCCW accidentally blocked all of their users from the website. The blockage spread worldwide via incorrect BGP routing tables published by PCCW, coming originally from PieNet in Pakistan.[1][2]
