No internet in egypt.

After the turmoil in Tunisia
where popular revolt had over-
thrown the current government,
it seems the protests seem to
have inspired people in Egypt.
This Egyptian people have used
Twitter, Facebook and other
mediums on the internet to
protest against their current
government headed by Hosni
Mubarak.
There has been a sporadic
control of the internet in Egypt
but the protests seemed to not
have quieted down. Today a few
hours ago, the Egyptian
government has not only blocked
Facebook, Twitter and other
popular websites to
communicate but also completed
shut-down the internet.
This is quite unprecedented in a
country the size of Egypt. There
are some countries where
internet is heavily monitored or
censored but I have never heard
of a country which shut down its
internet completely. I am against
any kind of banning or shutting
down of internet as I think it
finally can never deal with the
main issue which has its roots in
politics.
Do you think that it is okay for
countries to have a complete
shutdown of internet even if
there is trouble in the country?
Do drop in your comments.
