I blogged about Gizmo a while ago. Since then I’d more or less forgotten about it, until I read about it recently, when the discussions had come up in Elgg about the difficulties of using Spype in UAE. It would seem from this post in the Gizmo forums that it is allowed there, however, I’m reading it as “We allow you to use it”.
This report suggests that even though Gizmo allow for use in UAE, they have banned it anyway – as they ban based on packet types, rather than particular tools.
