Each of those companies have the capital to sustain a loss in revenue I'm not sure if a day (meaning an official 24hrs) would really raise awareness. If a real statement was made. A full week or at least 72hrs would really call attention to the issues at hand facing the network.

Its a great idea but I doubt they would actually go through with it. Investors would not be happy.

Anything to make the American Government realize they need to adapt instead of fighting a futile effort in legislating the internet. They couldn't be more off base on the way they go about these things.

The Internet wins EVERY TIME!
