There is no public access available to the internet. "Illegal use of a modem" is punishable by 15 years in prison. The SLORC is very serious about not letting any information in or out. In 1996 Leo Nichols was arrested for "Illegal use of a fax machine." He died in prison shortly after being arrested. Only a couple servers that we know of are inside the country, but they are privately owned, or within the US consulate.

Who lives in Burma
There are 67 different ethnic groups living in Burma. It's impossible to get an accurate count of their populations since most of them are hill tribes living in the jungles and mountains. Some of the larger minorities have assembled to fight against the military for independence. Some of them are the Shan, the Karen, the Kachin, the Mon, the Akha, the Pulau, the Arakan, the Rohingya. And, you know those women with the long stretched necks with rings around them? Them too. Each has their own language, clothing, culture, food, etc. They have formed liberation fronts and an exile government with one common objective: oust SLORC. By the junta's own count they are currently fighting a dozen separate revolutions. That's nothing a respectable government should brag about.
