Government blocks websites (among which Twitter, Facebook, Bambuser)
On Jan 27, prior to the protest planned for Friday 28th, text messaging (SMS) and Blackberry Internet services are also reported to be affected by the blocking.

Bambuser, a mobile video service, also reported a sudden halt in uploads from Egypt early on Tuesday afternoon.

Bambuser is a Swedish mobile app that streams live video direct from the phone to its own website or a person’s Facebook profile.

In spite of some complaints by activists, Facebook said that it had not yet been affected by any clampdown in Egypt.
