...after the good news from Tunisia I'd like to post what happens right 
now in Egypt:

It seems that all egyptian ISPs have cut their international 
connections, except Noor which is one of four uplinks for the Egypt 
Stock Exchange.
Fibre cables crossing Egypt are still intact.

Let's hope that these news support the peaceful protest and that police 
and military are acting considerate.
