I am very happy to see this statement.<br>
It is the least of what we should do.<br>

<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Please find
below a
statement from the Internet Society in response to the
recent events in
Egypt:</font></div>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">"We are
following the
current events in Egypt with concern as it appears that
all incoming
and outgoing Internet traffic has been disrupted. The
Internet Society
believes that the Internet is a global medium that
fundamentally
supports opportunity, empowerment, knowledge, growth,
and freedom and
that these values should never be taken away from
individuals.</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">The Internet
Society
considers this recent action by the Egyptian government
to block
Internet traffic to be an inappropriate response to a
political crisis.
It is a very serious decision for a government to block
all Internet
access in its country, and a serious intrusion into its
citizens’ basic
rights to communicate. If the blockage continues, it
will have a very
detrimental impact on Egypt's economy and society.
Ultimately, the
Egyptian people and nation are the ones that will
suffer, while the
rest of the world will be worse off with the loss of
Egyptian voices on
the net.</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">However we
are most
concerned about the safety and security of the Egyptian
people.
Alongside the rest of the world, we share the hope for
a positive and
lasting solution to the problems that have risen to the
surface there.</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">In the longer
term, we
are sure that the world will learn a lesson from this
very unfortunate
example, and come to understand that cutting off a
nation's access to
the Internet only serves to fuel dissent and does not
address the
underlying causes of dissatisfaction."</font></p>
