Initial IT Support response

I've just had a phone call from a very helpful IT specialist called Brice at Initial, in response to the email I sent yesterday about having this blog blocked. He said he'll be able to get the block lifted but it will involve sending someone down to Harben House to do it because no one in the conference centre would have the expertise. Initial apparently use sitekiosk.com software, which comes bundled with filters. I've emailed SiteKiosk vendor, PROVISIO GmbH (contact@provisio.de), to see what they have to say. Apparently they have 2500 customers for their SiteKiosk sofware, based in 50 countries all blocked from a blog on the politics of technology.
Maybe I should ask Ben Edelmann at Harvard to look into it.
