The Ministry of Electronics and IT on Monday lifted its nine-month ban on the download of VLC, a popular media player in the South Asian market. IFF provided legal support to @videolan throughout this process. # "Most major ISPs (internet service providers) are banning the site, with diverse techniques," VideoLAN president and lead developer Jean-Baptiste Kempf said of the blocking in India. With over 3.5 billion downloads worldwide, VLC is a media player that requires no internet access or connectivity to any particular service to operate. Source: Latestly.com #VLCMedia
