Just a quick positive message:
Considering things such as 1) in Germany Goebbels has been unable to monopolize radio waves during the second World War for the purpose of propaganda, 2) in France the failure of the original plan to cut the Internet connection of users with the Hadopi law, 3) in general the failure to forbid people using torrents to share data or 4) the failure to forbid people using Bitcoin, I think this Observatory will fail.
In general Nation-States have not been good at disabling communications using a physical medium which can't be really stopped in practice. But granted, Europe is becoming quite orwelian as I see it from the outside and it doesn't look good in the short/medium term.
