5:57am = The US military has banned access to 13 websites - including YouTube, eBay, Amazon, MTV and ESPN on its computer network - to free up bandwidth for relief efforts in Japan, say officers at US Cyber Command. The Pentagon said:

This action is in no way a reflection on any specific site or the content of any specific site ... in response to the needs of the military in a time of extreme demand on all circuits and networks in a region of the world that has been devastated by geological activity.

The step was requested by US Pacific Command, which is overseeing the military's disaster relief efforts, said the Pentagon.
