Comment on Iran’s internet blackout left people in the dark. How does a country shut down the internet?

oh, then i did misunderstood, but i still don’t see what you are suggesting. maybe if you get assigned address you can have some limited p2p communication with nearby people, but if that is the case, a guy with a megapfone does similar job.

  indeed it is. it is irrelevant to our discussion though. it is not a “cell tower” and it needs rather expensive end user hardware. limit of proliferation of such hardware among population during some kind of government internet shutdown will be approaching to zero.

    our discussion
    
    Not our. It’s a discussion you are trying to have with me about something I labeled as a layman’s guess.

    i talk, and you talk. it is our discussion.
    
    It’s a discussion you are trying to have
    
    i am not trying to have, i am having it. here you are, replying to me. why are you trying so hard to prove that a discussion is not a discussion? it does not make sense.
    
    I labeled as a layman’s guess.
    
    yeah. and since i am more knowledgeable than you in this particular regard, i contributed some information you might not have had. now you do and your future layman’s guess can be more educated. that is how the discussion works. and for some strange reason, you seem to be pissed about it.
