Post Mortem Begins - "The Internet Connection Ban" !!

Well lets get on to it!

On April 21, Fake IPL Player wrote that "In Cape Town. Laptops hv bn banned. I'net removed fm rooms. But posts wl continue thru SMS, relayed by my bro in India" .. I made a quick search on the Internet .. but was not able to find any confirmed news on this .. lot of other sites and blogs have just referred, reiterated or quoted what the Fake IPL Player has already stated...

However, I have come across a news report from in Bengali Daily, "Anandabazaar" published by the ABP Group on 24th April, where a very senior reporter reporting from Cape Town and staying in the same hotel as the players confirms in clear terms that there has been no ban on the internet or laptop use for the Kolkata Knights ...

Now lets look at some other facts and try to analyse them independently ... on 21st April the whole team of Kolkata Knight Riders were put up at the 5 star Hotel - One & Only Resorts (http://www.oneandonlyresorts.com/flash.html) along with IPL players belonging to other Franchisees (as reported in Dawn) ..... A quick check for the amenities provided by One and Only Resorts from their website reveal that the Hotel provides Wi-Fi internet connection.

Hence Mr. Fake IPL Player, how is it at all possible to selectively block Wi-Fi access for some guests and not for others, staying at the same hotel !!!!!!!!

And had that been truly done, don't you think it would have been a sensational news for all news hungry journalists out there, hiting the headlines of all 24x7 news channels of our country, and not just remain confined to your Blog only?
