I have just heard on the news that Burma have disabled the internet. Will this impact WCG significantly?

Hello crooks_uk,
Statistics shows 11 registered members who have selected Myanmar as their country. Of course, if I lived in Myanmar, I would choose to be unobtrusive by leaving my nationality blank, because drawing attention to myself might be unwise. Still, the total number of members in Myanmar / Burma is probably small. Lawrence |

The Burmese government apparently cut internet access today in an attempt to staunch the flow of pictures and messages from protesters reaching the outside world. Very very scary. |

what happens to Banks that lose the internet ? What little information I have indicates that their Bank(s) were nationalized by the government quite some time ago. I doubt the bank IP's have been impacted.  |
