SAAG [1] might consider working on that Worst 
Common Practice document to explain to countries 
how they should "cut off" the Internet ( 
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/84/slides/slides-84-irtfopen-1.pdf ). :-)

If I am not mistaken the control points are 
already in place in one or more countries.  The 
key may be control.  It may also be a desire to 
address a problem which people consider as important.

presentations at SAAG.  I don't know how the Security ADs make that happen.
