Please note that cell network shutdowns is only one aspect of my reply above. I am mainly concerned with dismissing smartphone (an extremely useful and capable communication device) as a tool for civil engagement. I don't view cell phone shutdowns as a serious obstacle to such engagement. If anything, I would expect a boost in use of circumvention methods (such as mesh networks) in places where such shutdowns do become an obstacle. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte -- Too many emails?
