I understand that there may be some humanitian consequences, but is turning off the Internet in geographical areas an option?

Servers in specific areas could be targeted and shut down, but the cheeky terrorists would easily find another way to organize their schemes of world domination... like SMS, phone, email, snail mail, courier, fax.

That's not a very realistic plan. I suppose you could isolate some major internet backbones to cut them off, but that would mess with the global internet traffic, possibly slowing it to a crawl.

nope
can you technically do it? yes
can you do it factually? no
only way is to get rid of the ISP.
The ISP and phonelines, etc give a person access to the internet.
Take away their access, they will have no internet.
Take away their computers, no internet..
But that is hard to control.
If it isn't the ISP, it's the telephones lines. If it isn't the telephone lines, its satellites, etc..
good luck lol
