Why didn't I hear about this before? I'll be working online.

What's the plan? What needs updating? Are we going to talk about what
has happened in Iran and the Arabic-speaking countries?

Can we talk about what to do when the entire national Internet is shut
down? Some Libyans were using satellite and international dial-up
connections, but now the mobile phone system is down, and many
landlines, too. This can't last, of course.

Countries that have tried shutting down their Internet:
Nepal (King overthrown.)
India in Jammu and Kashmir (restored after six months.)
Egypt (Mubarak out.)
Libya (We'll see.)

Countries that have refused to allow Internet:
China (gradually opened up but censored heavily)
Burma (gradually opened up but censored heavily)
North Korea (Army and Party only)

Sub-Saharan Africa is still in the process of getting its first or
second fiber optic cable installed and connected, and deploying
services or bringing prices down.
