Can Technical Incompetence curb freedom of speech?

Most of the bloggers in India, including me are victimised by this 'Banning of blogs'. Confusing signals sent from the govt not clearly specifying which blogs to ban and technical incompetence from the ISPs has resulted in a complete blanket ban on all blog sites. Is this the way to showcase to the world that India is such a great democracy and a technical powerhouse? When the ISPs say that they cant blog specific blogs, how did they do so now? There is little to say positive about this whole incident. It has caused outrage among many bloggers and has definitely not gone down well. I hope such acts are not repeated. After all, how will the ban be effective when the blogs can be accessed through proxy servers? Its just to say the bloggers are more cyber-savvy than the ISPs themselves!
