Foreign firms blocking HiNet e-mail: legislator

E-mail from state-owned Internet service provider (ISP) HiNet is being blocked by foreign companies because of an excessive amount of spam, a Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmaker said yesterday.

HiNet currently has 3.8 million clients, about 2.4 million of which are ADSL subscribers. The system sends out over 22 million pieces of electronic mail and receives about 150 million pieces daily.

According to Cho Po-yuan (???), the blockage by foreign ISPs has caused HiNet users inconvenience and been detrimental to the nation's reputation.

"We're asking Chunghwa Telecom Co to pay attention to the matter and immediately take care of it," he said.
