Is GAPP About To Drop The Hammer On Netease and World Of Warcraft?

Just like the current confusion over .cn, registrations, ICP – ICP by itself let alone in combination with others.  Rules in China are one thing – but this isn’t the first time that two regulators don’t agree and have a pissing match.  Or the rule creation and rule enforcement depts are thinking different things.
