Trooptube banned for troops; the US Military is short of bandwith 
Does anyone have more self-administered censorship egg-on-face than Australian Communications Minister Stephen Conroy?
One contender is the US Military.
Apparently is a matter of, er… bandwidth.
Rose-tinted glasses and lashings of Victory Gin are still permitted.
This is from Air Force Blocking the Military’s Own Video Site in the Wired blog:
Last week, we discovered that a bunch of military bases — especially Air Force bases — were blocking TroopTube, the Pentagon’s YouTube knock-off. Today, we learned that the digital blockades were part of a larger, Air Force-wide decision to cut off access to the military’s taxpayer-funded, security-scrubbed, low-bandwidth-optimized video sharing site.
“The Air Force must balance network security requirements with competing requests for wide-ranging access to a vast array of public internet services for our Airmen. Air Force-wide policy restricts access to categories of sites that are generally not mission related, and put adverse performance demands on our networks. As a result of this general policy, access to Troop Tube is blocked at Air Force bases,” service spokesman Major David Small e-mails Danger Room.
