Egypt Coming Back On the 'net

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the welcome-back-to-the-future dept.

An anonymous reader wrote in with the good news that after 5 days of blackout, "Egypt is coming back on-line. Some sites that didn't used to be available and are now back include two telcos: Vodafone Egypt and Etisalat Egypt. Guess that we can't have those IPv4 addresses back after all then."

    These protests are incredible!

    And about time.

    I went to school with a few Egyptians and they were constantly telling me that they wanted a Democracy. Unfortunately, the US government, my Government, was giving that asshole Mubarak billions of dollars a year in "aid" so that we could have an Arab "friend" in the region - of course pissing off the Arab peoples and giving them yet more reasons to hate me and my country (justified).

    I really hope you and your people get what you wish for and I really really hope my Government doesn't fuck things up for you folks.

    --May Allah be with you and your people.
