SingNet, one of Singapore's larger ISPs is telling all of their subscribers they must move to using SingNet's proxy server by September 14, 1996 if they want to have access to the Web.
If you try to access one of the SBA's banned sites, you'll get a message that says, "The site you requested is not accessible."

Sing Sing (the country is now a prison, so...) is one of the states we should think about targetting for "special attention."
