[Sysops-list] Finally-Internet Bandh

[Indiver Badal]

Cutting off Internet to gov agencies won't make any difference. I
don't believe Internet is that critical to any gov. agencies and most
of them won't even notice a few hours Bandh. The cut off only affects
those who rely on the Internet for their livelihood.

Just like any Bandh, this one is also a useless means of protest. The
only ones who suffer the Bandh is janata. Do you guys ever heard of
any policy changes by our gov just because of Bandh?

Putting a protest banner on all ISP's website and popular portals
could have a louder voice. Maybe we need some creative ideas of
protest ;)
