To: NANOG Operators' Group <<a href="mailto:nanog@nanog.org">nanog@nanog.org</a>><br><br><br>Around 2236 UCT, we lost all Internet connectivity with our contacts in<br>Egypt, and I'm hearing reports of (in declining order of confirmability):<br>
<br>1) Internet connectivity loss on major (broadband) ISPs<br>2) No SMS<br>4) Intermittent connectivity with smaller (dialup?) ISPs<br>5) No mobile service in major cities -- Cairo, Alexandria<br><br>The working assumption here is that the Egyptian government has made the<br>
decision to shut down all external, and perhaps internal electronic<br>communication as a reaction to the ongoing protests in that country.<br><br>If anyone can provide more details as to what they're seeing, the extent,<br>
plus times and dates, it would be very useful. In moments like this there<br>are often many unconfirmed rumors: I'm seeking concrete reliable<br>confirmation which I can pass onto the press and those working to bring some<br>
communications back up (if you have a ham radio license, there is some very<br>early work to provide emergency connectivity. Info at:<br><a href="http://pastebin.com/fHHBqZ7Q" target="_blank">http://pastebin.com/fHHBqZ7Q</a> )<br>
