Minnesota tries to block online poker / gambling

[Nick]

Here we go again - Minnesota this time are trying to block online poker / gambling at an ISP level.

Minnesota officials are trying a novel tactic to block online gambling sites — using a federal law that enables restrictions on phone calls used for wagering.

The state's Department of Public Safety said today it had asked 11 Internet service providers to block access to 200 online gambling sites.

The state is citing a federal law that requires "common carriers," a term that mainly applies to phone companies, to comply with requests that they block telecommunications services used for gambling.
