<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">As
per what I know from friends:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">1.
All Internet is down. Apparently one network is still working but
seems to be serving the stock exchange only and few others.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">2.
SMS is down.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">3.
Landlines are down (at least internationally).</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">4.
Mobile networks seem to be on and off depending on location. For
example, Vodafone is apparently working in Cairo while other
networks are not !!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">God
help them and bring Egypt and Egyptians out of this harmless
inshallah.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">Regards..</p>

<pre wrap="">Hey all,
Some NANOG participants are seeing hearing reports of disrupted
communications in Egypt. Are any of you seeing the same thing?

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