About the Hot 100 chicks, Saggy (of New Vision) answered that
question very ably: The Police wanted to examine them more closely.
And which warm-blooded, fair-minded male would begrudge them that?!
Besides, there were back on the streets the next day, for all to see.

But back to Katwe issues, I have to say, looking at the state of
affairs this morning, neither authors nor readers of the site seem
deterred!

UCC told ISPs to block the Website due to "serious concerns".
BTW how come you did not complain when the Hot 100 chicks were
rounded up?? :-)

I know this is a 'techies list' and therefore the urge to turn
each discussion into one about bits & bytes is overwhelming, but
I think the important issues are different. For instance:
1) Surely this is not the last time ISPs will be required to
block access to a site. That is, what next, a ban on accessing
news.bbc.co.uk? And then after that a ban on receiving certain
kinds of email. Is this not the thin end of the wedge? It is a
rather dark tunnel to find oneself peering into.
2) Whatever the real technicalities, the ability to block certain
sites creates the impression to the customer that his/her Internet
activities are monitored. Which surely is not an impression any
ISP would like to create.
3) And then there is the deafening silence that has accompanied
this action. Almost always a bad sign.
There are many such questions that could be asked. Many. And many
lessons from elsewhere. But I guess while we wait for answers,
we'll just keep doing http://www.google.com/search?q=anonymous
+surfing and making use of whatever that brings!

From a technical standpoint this is one of the main

obviously not the case with a proliferation of VSATs.
Not really - with the way the fibre is meant to run,
circuit provisioning and management will be handled by
the telco(s), but IP provisioning will be done by the
ISP's trying to connect at either end.
This is how SAT-3 works down south. Telkom SA manages the
circuit, but IP service is not handled by them. Unless
the only way to go onto fibre is to also get IP services
from local telcos, which in my books, is not worth the
switch.
