Netblocks maps internet connectivity globally and detects outages and blockades

During wave of protests in Iran, #2026/01/08 evening a national internet blackout is in progress.

A proposal to revive short wave radio, esp to overcome splinternet and internet blocking conditions. Mentions radio transmitted text. Mentioning ham transceivers capable of this. Seems a suggestion, of which none of the parts currently are in place (not broadcasters, not equipment, not antennaparks (RNWO shut down their stuff in 2012, since then a tiny part goes on internet only), not receivers. Interesting though, re #2025/03/23 Ius Winterwandeling dinner conversation on SSB.
