China’s ‘Wall’ Hits Business: Firms Say Censorship Slows Web Connections, Curbs Access to Services

Fredrik Bergman ran into a problem when a client in Sweden tried to transfer files to his firm’s headquarters here: Each time, the firm lost its Web connection for an hour or so.After several weeks of multiple outages a day, he says, the firm solved the puzzle: the files were named for the Swedish town of Falun, where the client was working.
