Politics: Why Darraa?

I have been wondering why the revolution in Syria started in Daraa... the southern-est city in Syria. Why not Hama,  Homos, Damascus or any other town? Then it hit me: it is the closest city to Jordan... it has access to Wireless telecommunication from Jordan! in other words, access to the Internet from a non-Syrian source!

My next question: does this means the Daraa people had access to the FaceBook page, thus they knew about the revolution before the other cities? Or, does this mean that the revolution in other cities is way underway, but Daraa is the only city that can broadcast what happens because it has access to non-Syrian controlled internet?

I will keep watching for an answer!
