Internet providers have been told by the National Peace and Order Maintaining Council to block public access to Internet addresses of web pages or content deemed violating the coup orders, an ISP source told The Nation.

Speaking to The Nation after a meeting with NPOMC officials at the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, the source said the ISPs were also told to block access to IPTV or live TV broadcasts relayed via Internet.
A working committee of the NPOMC will inform the ISPs to block access to certain Internet addresses on case by case basis, the source said.
