Hi everyone,

Interesting news:

FTA: "Confirming what a few have reported this evening: in an action
unprecedented in Internet history, the Egyptian government appears to have
ordered service providers to shut down all international connections to
the Internet. Critical European-Asian fiber-optic routes through Egypt
appear to be unaffected for now. But every Egyptian provider, every
business, bank, Internet cafe, website, school, embassy, and government
office that relied on the big four Egyptian ISPs for their Internet
connectivity is now cut off from the rest of the world. Link Egypt,
Vodafone/Raya, Telecom Egypt, Etisalat Misr, and all their customers and
partners are, for the moment, off the air."
