And I guess it worked.

We make Ku-band backpacks for this type of scenario. I would give it 12- 18 hours before you see CNN light up with live feeds.. I didn't even KNOW this was happening prior to them doing this. Seems like cutting off access would alert a lot more folks than some people wrecking Sudan over fuel subsidies??
Doesn't look like it's been picked up by CNN substantially yet, but I imagine we'll get "breaking news" soon enough. Would be interesting to see if it was a forced drop or did they actually just take a pair of scissors and murder the internets?

Yes, interesting to know if it was cut fiber, pressure on the inside providers (or their feeds), or pressure on the outside providers.
Traceroutes lend any clue?
Jeff
If the government did it, I guarantee it was cut fiber. That makes it difficult to quickly restore. One has to wonder whats going on
subs there
right now that they dont want the world to know about?
Then its quite likely the government cut the fiber to cover that up :) wouldnt surprise me if they cut it in multiple places as well.
