A friend of mine live-blogging the incident asked this:

"...there seems to be a raging debate as to whether the DDOS attacks on
government websites screws up bandwidth and make it harder for ordinary
Iranians to connect there." Would love some informed opinions on this
topic."

Anyone have an idea what connectivity to/from Iran consists of?  Think
all the page-reload DDOS stuff could disrupt outbound access from the
protesters?
