There seems to be a lot of confusion and old information floating around about what is or isn’t an ICP may be and what is needed to get one and then as announced today – additional steps needed during the actual application process.
With new regulations enforced by MIIT, Internet Service Providers are obliged to conform to the current ICP application procedure. Specifications are as follows:
Previously you would have to decide between a “normal” ICP as needed for all business online properties. Or a “commercial” ICP for doing trades/shopping cart/ecommerce.
A former client of mine who was involved in a new venture recently quizzed me as to whether or not “We require clients to undertake the Cultural Understanding Course” if they do hosting and services with us?
There has been a bit of a maelstrom recently regarding the use of .CN and ICP certificates all on top of the existing confusion.

All too often the pundits of tech in society (as nice as they are), like twit.tv, cnet.com and zdnet.com – [...]
For part one, go here: http://www.utilitycomputing.com.cn/?p=41 I hate to bitch. And I hate to appear as if I am drumming up business or trying to screw other businesses. I am just trying to call it as I see it as a public service. We get maybe 3-4 clients a week transfer to us from a [...]
Well, the thing is, in China, you have to have a licence to have a website, called an ICP. It costs money if you are commercial, even more money if an e-commerce site, as well as a bank deposit with a certain amount of registered capital. For non commercial entities it is free and no [...]
