More Trouble Expected When Egypt Comes Back Online 175
schliz writes "Net activists at Telecomix are preparing darknets, encryption, proxies and VPNs to protect Egyptians' online freedom when the Government-imposed Internet blackout ends.

Analysts and the Internet Society have also warned of technical and business difficulties to come — including BGP churn and commercial fears of doing business in Egypt."

Dear Egypt,
All IP addresses previously assigned to you have been revoked and given to others, since you apparently don't want them anymore.
Thank you for helping us with the dwindling supply of IPv4 addresses.
Sincerely,
