Georgian woman cuts off web access to all of Armenia

[S Kreimeyer]

I met one of the civil engineers whom helped build Denver international

that if it were severed the damages were estimated somewhere around
$3M/sec. I don't think there's much appreciation for how vulnerable net
infrastructure is.
