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>
