the idea that a government can just hand-wave and shutdown a major ISP is somewhat unsettling. Even though this doesn't affect me personally, I would still consider this a "rights" issue - as in the right to choose one's ISP, without the government interfering and saying who can and who can't be an ISP.
This is "the" point in this issue, Fibertel has ceased to exist in 2009, they merged with another company, which voided their license. They even admitted it and put it in a report when they wanted founding on London (Spanish only, sorry http://bit.ly/9V1bOf).
The government did not shut down an ISP, they pointed a company which was doing business without a valid license and forced them to stop doing it.

Good idea, politicians (hence government) are more permeable to gonorrhea than common sense or people's needs.
