They will try, but they will not succeed. As long as they can establish some sort of route, they will have access, and Internet core routing protocols are self-repairing - if they close off a route, the border routers will update their databases to reroute the traffic around the closed link. There’s no stopping them now.

The key element is that the government is using the net as well. They cannot shut it off, because they are depending on getting information from the streets, and issuing orders. Emails, cell phones, land lines, faxes etc… All tools for repression AND freedom!
