Internet in Egypt comes back online

7 Feb 2011 12:00 AM | Anonymous

Internet access in Egypt has returned after the shamed President and government cut all services affecting twitter and facebook.

Firms measuring the traffic have now said the four major internet service providers are back to business as usual.

While the services were disrupted, many Egyptians quickly found ways around the blocks. On 1 February Google introduced a "speak-to-tweet" service which allowed people to connect to Twitter via the telephone.

US President Barack Obama has said he believes that Egypt cannot go back to how it was before the uprising against President Hosni Mubarak , and that the time for change is now.
