Google back online in China

After what feels like months, Google is back online in China (i.e. unblocked). Search, Maps and Play Store working again on hundreds of millions of phones.

Orders of magnitude importance difference, at least for me.

Search is still blocked at home on china telecom. Blocked on my phone (china Unicom) as well.

Hmm, now it seems to no longer be working anymore. But about 3 hours ago I updated a couple of Apps from the Play Store on my Unicom 3G connection, and used Google at home on my China Telecom DSL. Probably some GFW admin wanted to update his Android phone, and then turned the lights off again...

Blocked on China Mobile wifi also (at Starbucks in Beijing).
