We all know that most providers do not work in Egypt, in many regions even mobile communications are disabled. Until recently, the notorious provider Noor Group, which served government organizations and a number of stock exchanges, was still operating in this country. So, this provider also stopped its work. It happened yesterday, at 11 pm local time.
In principle, the services of this provider could be used by a few hundred Egyptians, but thanks to this connection, some information about events in Egypt came to the outside world. By the way, some IT companies have provided access to the Network for Egyptians by establishing a dial-up connection. But it is clear that access to international communications is an expensive pleasure (about 1-1.5 dollars per minute), which is unacceptable for most Egyptians.
As previously reported, foreign companies and individuals are developing one-day services that help keep in touch with Egypt. This is necessary not only to highlight the events in the country, but also to maintain communication with foreign nationals who suddenly found themselves at the center of well-known events.

For example, a “speak-to-tweet” service was developed, created by engineers from Google, Twitter and SayNow, bought by Google last week. By the way, a good advertisement for SayNow and its services, agree.
In general, no communication in Egypt works, despite the last provider disconnected. One can only hope that soon everything will get better, and all these outages will stop, and the connection will be restored.
