"Wikinews has also learned that some ISPs have blocked customers from accessing some Wikimedia websites including the free, online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, altogether."

Yes there is.

I note that there's no corroboration provided for this, and no expansion of the remarks.

I suspect that this is related to what Gregory mentions below - the weird stuff they're doing with traffic seems to be leading to a high failure rate for pageviews, but this is a mark of ineptitude not of intent.
