Last 'Net provider in Egypt goes dark

   The last Internet provider of Egypt known as, the Noor Group, has shut down. The Noor Group was the only Internet service that remained online even after Egypt's 4 main Internet providers shut down which were : Link Egypt, Vodafone/Raya, Telecom Egypt, Etisalat Misr. These Internet providers were becoming flooding due to the "web traffic" in Egpyt due to the over 1,000,000 people in the streets, texting and twittering about this event. Over 1,000,000 people were protesting their government. At about 11:00 p.m Egypt time all Internet services were unreachable. Finally on Saturday Cell Phone service was restored but has been having some trouble due to the high traffic in texting and phone calling.These network providers had to be shut down due to the possible chance of corruption.

My Opinion

      Personally, I believe that this symbolizes the tragedies occurring in Egypt, this truly reveals how serious this event has become and is. During this difficult time, the Egyptians are forced to not rely on the Internet in this terrible time, which also minimizes the popularity of this event. Personally, this would be very hard to be limited to no Internet access in such a tough time, and this event would cause the Egyptians to be more frustrated, thus creating more protesters.
