Every Egyptian, every business, bank, web cafe, website, school or public institution that was working in one of the four main Egyptian ISPs for their internet connectivity is now cut off from the rest of the world.

Internet access in Egypt has been absolutely cut off as anti-government protests have escalated in the last three days in the country. Most of the access has been cut during this night, standing for an action unprecedented in Internet history. The first sites to be blocked were Facebook and Twitter.

According to Tweets that are getting through to Twitter almost 90% of the 'Egyptian internet' has fallen off and the only some ISPs are working because they control banks and the stock market.

Tomorrow is expected to see the largest demonstrations up to now. Protests against the government have been growing and authorities have alleged they will hold hard on rebellion, showing to be afraid that the mounting anger could guide to the same conclusion as in neighbour Tunisia.

President Hosni Mubarak’s is almost reaching 30 years in power without being contested and in recent times the escalation of unemployment, prices and repression is leading to a similar pressure of long-standing president to escape from the country.

The presidential election is planned for next September and it is said that Mubarak will either remain in control or hand power to his son Gamal.
