And by "unauthorized", they mean "all".
I heard that Baidu and some other Internet companies in China have these kind of unfiltered connection (maybe to use Google? Haha). I don't if these are "authorized" or not.
> "No unauthorized use of VPNs through March 2018." I was wondering, "what just happened internally in China that they want to censor for a year or so?" Then it dawned on me...they want to censor everything until the 2018 Winter Olympics is over with. I was wondering if Trump had tweeted, "free Tibet," or something like that.

$300 per megabit?? Did you mean GB or TB maybe?
I think he means per mbit/s, not per mbit. e.g. $300 would get an unmetered line with a 1mbit/s max throughput
To get an idea of how much $300/mo is, I just had a quote for a 1 gig dedicated ethernet from our office (not a datacentre) in Delhi to our rack in Telehouse Docklands North for $18k a month, or $18/mbit. For datacentre-datacentre I had a quote from Seoul KINX for $5k/month, or $5/mbit. Layer 2 links in both cases. These are fairly long haul links.
Here's my translation as a Chinese native, though I'm no technical expert. Companies that provide IDC, ISP, CDN services, without authorization, are prohibited to set up or lease connections (including virtual private networks), to conduct business operations across borders. I guess it means if you're a ISP etc, you're not allowed to sell VPN services without authorization. It says nothing about individuals purchasin…
It is also consistent with the worldwide tightening of internet. Trump and May are much more likely to applaud the latest Chinese effort than criticise.
Chinese internet management is the model that will lead the West. Quite a reversal, quite depressing too.
What about RDP into a remote VM? Surely they can't block RDP, techcos in China need to be able to run servers outside of China. Would that go around VPN restrictions?

Indeed, this is how bandwidth is sold. To get an idea of how much $300/mo is, I just had a quote for a 1 gig dedicated ethernet from our office (not a datacentre) in Delhi to our rack in Telehouse Docklands North for $18k a month, or $18/mbit.

Every hotel I've stayed at in China that caters to Westerners had a VPN in place. You could check your Gmail at the hotel but not outside of it (unless you had your own VPN).
Only true in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, not any other city in china as far as I can tell.

…oh, right.
