I agree with Fred, but trying to keep this on a technical list.


Has anyone compared the network resiliancy and reliability in countries 
with centralized control with similar situated countries with 
decentralized networks?

For example, various developing countries have been doing deals to build 
out network infrastructure which follow the Great Firewall approach to 
network architecture.  I'm not certain if its always a deliberate 
decision, but often the economics of Walled Garden networks make them 
attractive.

There are enough developing countries around the world doing this, it 
should be possible to measure differences in reliability between 
countries.
