[OSM-talk] China issues new rules on Internet map publishing

[John Smith]

BEIJING, May 19 -- An updated standard for Internet map servers will
be implemented next month to avoid state secrets being disclosed and
uncertified maps published online, authorities have said.

The new standard issued by the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping,
one year after the first standard was launched, requires all Internet
map servers to keep servers storing map data inside the country and
provide public Internet protocol addresses.
