The latest Akamai State of the Internet report is out, with its voluminous data about global Internet speeds, attack traffic, and IPv4/v6 usage in the first quarter of 2011. What the Internet server company's survey also reveals is that in some countries, obtaining 'Net access has been a pretty messy affair recently.
"Internet outages or disruptions of note occurred in several countries around the world due to government action in response to protests, natural disasters, or oddly enough, simply scavenging for scrap metal," the Akamai survey observes. Those disruptions were particularly noticeable in Egypt, Libya, Japan, and Georgia/Armenia, where a retiree hunting for scrap metal managed to bring 'Net access down for a while.
What is striking about several of them is that Internet traffic sometimes increased after the disruptive event.
