Jillian C. York

This post is part of our special coverage of Egypt  Protests 2011.
Following a near-blackout of Internet service on January 27, it seems that the last remaining ISP–Noor Group, which has approximately 8% of market share–has now been cut off as well, leaving Egyptians without any form of Internet access.
@Weddady, a Boston-based activist, tweeted around 4pm EST:
Urgent ALERT : THE LAST INTERNET CONNECTION AVAILABLE IN #EGYPT IS DOWN #Jan25 via ramy raoof
He added:
Urgent: Ramy Raoof says also that there's news of an imminent shut down of ALL cell phone networks. #Jan25
@Alaa, who has been in touch with family and friends in Cairo via phone, confirmed the news:
noor net the last ISP standing in egypt is taken offline, there is now no internet in egypt at all #Jan25
With landlines available, it's possible that some Egyptians will manage to dial out via international networks.  Global Voices will attempt to continue coverage through our network of local contacts.
