For your eyes only

Anyone who has been to China and found it is impossible to access the BBC web site – because the government bans it for security reasons – will be interested in the experience of Allan Gray, of Atlas Products International. He recently attended a ‘Bilateral Trade and Investment’ presentation at Manchester’s Business Link, where he had the chance to pitch his BDX secure internet data transfer service to government officials from Changzhou province in China.
Two officials asked whether anyone could see data as it passed through BDX. ‘No, it’s absolutely safe – the data can only be read by the intended recipient,’ Allan reassured them. At which point, the government officials looked disappointed, and moved on.
