Just finished interacting with people from a number of countries worried about Internet blackouts being used by their governments to help prevent reporting of unpleasant truths, such as vote-rigging.
I discussed with them what Telecomics did for Egypt and other Arab countries and what Commotion and mesh-networking may provide. They were enthusiastic about these possibilities, but disappointed when I explained that this was not anything that could be put in place proactively for the moment. This lead me to start thinking about the possibility of deploying something like Fidonet as a tool for getting around Internet blackouts. Has anyone tried something like that? Was wondering if anyone was aware of other approaches for mitigating this type of DoS. -Richard -- Too many emails?
