The geeky implications of the Lybian revolution

It's one of the most famous URL shortener websites and it could be put into jeopardy by a revolution (let's all hope it ends well and without further blood). What could happen to bit.ly if Lybia turns the Internet off?

Right, because the ".ly" extension, used in this case to make the URL looking like an adverb, is in the real world the official extension of Lybia. Maybe it's a fact nerds only would find of any interest, but that's the Internet too.
