In Egypt, the government has shut down 4 out of 5 of the internet
companies and cellular companies to reduce the ability of it's
citizens organizing a resistance movement against the current
political power.
If the US Government gets an Internet Kill Switch, How would you
communicate if internet and cellular communications were shutdown?
It is much easier in Egypt because there are only 5 ISP's, in the
U.S. there are 4000.

Perhaps the answer to this lies in the past - we should, therefore,
ask what did we do before we used the internet or mobile telephony?

The bigger news for me is how quickly they turned it on again. There
is no end in sight to the protests and unrest yet internet-access was
already restored.
Even though a very developed country by comparison this is still
Africa. How long do you think a "First World" country would want turn
off the internet? As everything depends on it, the question becomes
what will the "powers that be" lose if they hit the killswitch
compared to a civil unrest or even a revolution (which you can't stop
that way anyway). Let's not forget that these powers aren't just
reigning politicians. There are always many forces at work with their
own agendas, some of which also stand to gain through a political
change.
Internet censorship is an all or nothing affair. You can either block
it completely (and then fail at that again as we saw, dialup and so
on) or you let information flow. All attempts to censor within the
network can and will be circumvented unless the complete
infrastructure is downgraded to the dystopian Internet2 cable like
infotainment medium. We are on our way there but I wouldn't worry yet
(that is shunting down the internet - there's lot to worry about
elsewhere).
