Auf behördliche Anordnung hin haben die Internet-Service-Provider Ägyptens eine halbe Stunde vor Mitternacht jegliche Erreichbarkeit von Webseiten unterbunden. De facto ist momentan keine in Ägypten gehostete Seite mehr erreichbar. Derartiges war zuvor noch nie geschehen.
Da sieht man mal, was für eine Kaste das ist, die da regiert... aus Angst vor dem Volk den Internet-Hahn abdrehen.
Wirtschaftlich unabsehbare Folgen ... interessiert da nicht, Hauptsache die eigene Machtbasis wird nicht erschüttert. Schießerlaubnis an die Polizei wurde mittlerweile auch gegeben ...
Spass beiseite.
Hier die aktuellen Updates dank Redditor meTah:
Updates:
CNN's Ben Wedeman in Cairo, Egypt confirms that both the Internet and SMS are down. see: tweet via his UK Blackberry.
Tor Project implies that someone was launching a DoS attack on them from Egypt before the internet was killed.
From The Arabist's article -- "Update: It's not everywhere. A foreign journalist at the Semiramis Intercontinental hotel says he has internet access."
From The Washington Post -- "A major service provider for Egypt, Italy-based Seabone, reported early Friday that there was no Internet traffic going into or out of the country after 12:30 a.m. local time."
From The Arabist's article -- "Update 2: The Semiramis [hotel] uses Noor as its ISP. [...] they apparently use a dedicated fiber optic connection and a source said they did not receive any instructions."
From The Arabist -- "[...] the phone companies have been ordered by the authorities to shut down SMS services (which has been the case for at least an hour) and Blackberry Messenging in Cairo (and perhaps elsewhere in Egypt)."
According to the Tor Project, most of Egypt is back online? I can't find any reports confirming this outside of torproject's tweet.
BGPmon has released a report on the state of the internet in Egypt. It is consistent with previous reports that all ISPs except for one (NOOR-AS) are completely down or barely functional. This contradicts the tweet by the torproject.
"Renesys is reporting (update) that the Egyptian stock exchange is accessible via IP addresses owned by four different providers, one of them being the Noor group, and speculates that this may be the reason the Noor group is still online. If the Noor group is the predominant ISP in a financial district, this would tend to corroborate." -- thanks escape_goat!
The Egyptian Stock Exchange is closed on Fridays and Saturdays, so that may not be the reason the Noor ISP is still operational. Unless the government expects the unrest to persist through the weekend!
Network graph showing massive drop in internet traffic at 5:20pm EST, on January 27th.
"DIAL-UP ISP IS WORKING. Noor dsl is still working in Try their Dial up numbers (0777 7770),(0777 7000) SPREAD THE WORD" -- thanks, illobo!
10:45 AM (3:45 AM EST) -- Arabist blogger has tweeted that mobile networks are down (at least in Cairo). Looks like the government is trying everything it can to further stifle communication before the protests begin.
11:26 AM (4:26 AM EST) -- ~1 hour before protests, looks like CNN's Ben Wedeman is awake and reporting! He has confirmed that cell phones are down, and is sending messages via landline to CNNHQ!! Streets are filled with riot police. He reports that a shipment of baseball bats has been allowed into the main tv station, possibly to allow guards to fend off protesters? Sounds like they caught wind of protester plans to take control of the tv station.
While not directly related to the internet/communication blockade, I assume redditors in this thread want to know about the protests:
The Guardian's LiveBlog cites reports that plainclothes police are dousing parked cars with gasoline. They plan to light them on fire and blame it on the protesters to give the government an excuse to use excessive force. Also, there are rumors that thugs have been hired to attack protesters with knives/swords. The rumors could be attempts to scare potential protesters from participating.
CNN's Ben Wedeman in Cario: "Security is everywhere, including Special Forces. Government once again warning protests BANNED." Potential protesters will see this on their way to Friday prayers, I wonder how they will react.
Ben Wedeman acknowledges that it will be very difficult to relay news from the field due to the communication blockade.
12:15PM (5:16 AM EST) -- My estimation is that Friday prayers have begun. I fear that we will not hear any news until people return home and relay it to someone with internet access via landline.
The Guardian's LiveBlog -- Security forces are blocking the road to the now infamous Tahrir Square, as well as the road connecting the cities of Ismalia and Suez.
The Guardian's Jack Shenker: Within seconds of Friday prayers finishing, teargas and "sound bombs" fired at protesters in Cairo and Alexandria. City is like a "war zone". Opposition leader ElBaradei was present with the protesters in Giza. Protesters chanting "Down Down Hosni Mubarak".
Protests are breaking out all over Egypt: Cairo, Alexandria, Minya, Asyut, and al-Arish. Al Jazeera is reporting that protesters have gathered near the presidential palace in Cairo.
1:43PM (6:46 AM EST) -- Al Jazeera is reporting that opposition leader and nobel peace prize recipient Mohamed ElBaradei has been detained by police! Now there are reports that he has not been arrested, just prevented from moving anywhere. Technicality?
Die vielen Toten und niedergeknüppelten Menschen von der Regierung finde ich jetzt extrem schlimmer als irgendein wirtschaftlicher Schaden.
Hoffentlich stehen das die Menschen durch. In Tunesien mussten auch viele mit dem Höchstpreis bezahlen, nämlich mit ihrem Leben.
Naja die hatten ja schon damit gedroht die Onlinepräsenzen der Regierung zur Strecke zu bringen wenn sie Twitter und co. weiter blocken. Nur wenn eh kein Inet geht können auch die nix machen ...
nächstes ziel ist Ägypten
zurzeit ist Albanien dran
