Internet Turned Back On In Egypt
Feb 2nd, 2011 | no responses
After a five-day internet shutdown, President Hosni Mubarak said he would seek re-election. And apparently turned the internet back on:
Reports from bloggers and Egyptian twitterati have confirmed that the Internet has been restored in Egypt by the country’s major Internet Service Providers ISPs.
The decision has yet to be clarified as whether it is a single sided decision from the major telecom operators in the country or if the government has finally caved in to global pressure to restore the service to its citizens.
