The thing with Syria, is that the internet isn't as prolific there as it is in other countries. Most businesses can't afford computers, let alone private individuals. When I was there 12 years ago, there was maybe two computers for the bank which covered the entire city of Lattakia. Medical records, birth/death/marriage records, almost EVERYTHING was still being done by hand or with typewriters, like in the 1950s and 1960s. I don't know how much technology spread once Hafez al-Assad died, but I have a hard time believing that cutting off the internet is going to affect the average Syrian.

look at the Internet Growth Statistics for Syria...in 2005 it was only 800.000 users
