[kictanet] In egypt-internet governance

[Wamuyu Gatheru]

The service providers were basically asked to shut down or loose their  
licenses. A couple days ago the companies argued that protests were  
taking place in even a bigger way without the internet and even  
phones. Incidentally even public transport across the country was shut  
down. I think all is back today after shameful 'Mungiki' type violence.
