What should I do if the Internet is shut off in the country or will be limited access to the sites?

Each of you will certainly have heard that in Egypt, the government off the Internet. A modern country with a population of 79 million people to 37 hours without access to any Internet resources. It was turned off and mobile communications. In fairness it should be noted that he had worked only one ISP Noor Group, which operates through a stock exchange and government agencies.

Logically the question arises: what to do if in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus to happen for one reason or another Internet shutdown. How to communicate with the outside world? How to coordinate their actions and to just learn the news?

On the Internet goes a lot of information how the problem was solved in Egypt.

Naturally, the last bastion of Internet remain Dialup, Internet telephone modem. If you look at your computer 2-3 years old, it is likely that you do not have built-in modem. On my MacBook Pro it is not:

And abandoned Wintel computer from Acer - is:

So what's left to understand how to get to the Internet having at hand a fixed line and the old modem.

For example, there is such as an Internet Service Provider Budget DialUp, Which has free access around the world, but, as usual, without any of our countries. You can type on any international number and access to the Internet, but will have to pay for the call according to the tariff. With regard to Egypt, that there was such access:

As you can see, you do not pay for access and traffic, only a phone call. Phone from a provider a lot so there is hope that they all will link blocked for a set.

In addition, for the case of blocking not just the Internet, and some of the sites, the project will help TORWhose members allocate their channels to transmit them to the protected traffic that you require closed sites.

Also, there is a kind of communication as satellite phones - Iridium, Inmarsat or SSB. This is a very expensive form of communication, but with him you connected around the globe. For these phones, there are even special services like email SailMailThat are designed to work at very low speeds with large delay performance (latency). The operation of the service on the network repeaters is allocated with a global coverage frequencies.

So, how can you not remember FidoNetWho is alive and well. I myself became a reporter by the user in high school and I remember the spiteful critics who poked his fingers and laughing showing internet :) Imagine how it boils today to discuss the fate of the Internet. Try to understand and appreciate, and maybe join until it's not too late ;)

It is also interesting project #openmeshproject, Which is designed to circumvent restrictions in Egypt and build a mesh-based network routers raised. At the moment, the project participants are studying the types of common wo-fi routers in Egypt and prepared to make firmware that turn these routers in a network. That's how I understood the essence of the project from the small description on the site.

And of course such a solution :)
