This is disturbing. If it works, other nations will take notice. Right now, we – and more importantly, they – are dependent on ‘old’ media.
Egypt Cuts Off Most Internet and Cell Service
Egypt has cut off nearly all Internet traffic into and out of the country in the largest blackout of its kind, according to firms that monitor international data flows. Cellphone networks were also disrupted.
You can have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, or democracy. But you cannot have both.
Whatever Works 
I certainly hope this doesn’t set a precident. In this day and age, cell and internet blackouts would leave many people without information, or the means of sharing information. Not good for social change or democracy!
