My Way News - Cell Phones, Web Spread News of Myanmar
AP reports: "Cell phones and the Internet are playing a crucial role in telling the world about Myanmar's pro-democracy protests, with video footage sometimes transmitted one frame at a time. Reporters Without Borders said Wednesday the junta has cut some cell phone service."

Comment: This is a great example of cyber dissidents using the internet to fight repression. It's also, unfortunately, an example of how a government can restrict internet access.
