My guess is that Canada is relatively free, but that is just a guess. <br /><br />I had not heard about shutting the Net and SMS down during the papal visit. I just Googled it and found this quote (http://huff.to/Xgra3t) from Yoani Sanchez :<br /><br />"Transportation was virtually paralyzed hours before the Alitalia plane landed and Internet access was cut in schools and workplaces a week in advance. The mobile phone company, Cubacel, became an accomplice, cutting the lines of any potentially "dangerous" users. Even the black market experienced anxious moments with the excessive number of police in the streets. The country was under an undeclared state of emergency."<br /><br />Does that sound accurate to you?<br /><br />LarryLarry Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14903269871983592883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590880278864199477.post-17012682179012160422012-10-15T20:39:18.143-07:002012-10-15T20:39:18.143-07:00How come there is no data from Canada?
And about ...How come there is no data from Canada?<br /><br />And about the report from Cuba, there was indeed "Localized or nationwide ICT shut down" during the visit of the pope (internet, sms and phone calls from Cuba to outside were shut-down for about 48 hours), but maybe this happened after they collected the data. But again, that was not the first time.muchasgraciasnoreply@blogger.com
